August 28-September 2We spent a Sunday afternoon “people watching” in downtown Burlington. There is a pedestrian mall…Church Street Marketplace…that is full of shops, sidewalk cafes, and street entertainers. All types of people are attracted to the mall. The University of Vermont, along with a few other colleges, is in Burlington, so naturally students flock to the area. It’s a popular place for families and tourists. That afternoon, we decided to grab a Starbucks, sit on a bench, and just see who or what we could see...we were thoroughly entertained!

Another day we met up with a dear friend’s daughter and her son for lunch in Williston. Cindy arranged for us to meet at a lovely garden center and café called the “Garden of Eatin”…clever name, uh! We got to chat and eat while Louis entertained himself on the outdoor playground. He also enlightened us with his knowledge of hurricanes and the state of Vermont. Quite the clever little boy! We had a delightful time and look forward to seeing Cindy and Louis again this winter when they come for a visit with her mother, Grace L. CINDY AND LOUIS
It isn’t a trip to Vermont if you don’t take the time to go to Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream Factory. The factory is nestled in the Green Mountains in the small town of Waterbury. It’s just a thirty minute tour, but you learn the history of the company, watch the ice cream being made and packaged, and best of all, sample the flavor of the day! We had Orange & Cream that day. Browsing the gift shop will always turn up some kind of souvenir; of course, there is always more ice cream to purchase if the sample isn’t enough…and it’s never enough!!INSIDE BEN AND JERRY'S

WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM
