A July 2005 trip to Vermont by JoansDream
Quote: Not a shoosher? Not to worry - there's lots to do in spring and summer too! Biking, hiking, shopping, and Ben & Jerry's. Vermont has it all!
Hotel | "The Summit at Bolton Valley"
We enjoyed a great view from the balcony, and you can't beat the crisp mountain air, warm days, and cool nights in this beautiful greenest of green states.

Attraction | "Northern Lights Cruise Boat"
The boat was brand new and beautifully appointed with plenty of seating.
While you’re waiting to disembark, you can enjoy the Breakwater Grill & Cafe right there on the dock. The menu was basically burger-type food, and we were lucky enough to catch live entertainment.
There are some fabulous boats tied up to the same dock... it was fun to see how the "other half" plays!

Attraction
The museum is so large that they will stamp your hand to go back a second day! You can walk it... but for the faint of feet, there is a trolley bus with frequent stops! There are many hands-on activities for the kids!

Attraction | "Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory Tours"
We went very early, so it was not crowded, but reservations are recommended. Ice cream is not made every day, so it is wise to call for a schedule.
