This blog basically gives me a place to post all my pictures of life going on around me and somewhere to post something clever if there happens to be no one around to share it with!

Another Vermont Picture Post (What a surprise)

First order of business was, of course, the original Ben & Jerry's facility, which originated in Burlington, Vermont. It was awesome! These are HUGEEEEE building sized storage containers. Look at all that sugar!
The classic B&J travel van
The inside was super colorful and fun, mom and Jess entering.
Even the bathroom was ice cream fun!
There was a lot of super useful items in the gift shop...as Jess pointed out.
Then we went to a creamery and tasted all these cheeses! We like the horseradish cheddar the best. We also got tomato basil cheddar.
Downtown Burlington. We walked around and shopped a little. I got some new goggles.
We finally got to our room and this is the *night view off our balcony.

*night refering to the 430 sunset...

First real day at the Smuggler's Notch resort. We went to get ready for snowboarding but it was too warm so most of the snow was icey :( So we're going early tomorrow instead so it's cold and less packed. I'm super bummed! I want to snowboard! Instead we went to this AWESOME zip lining tree trek. It was beautiful! 
Leaning over the edge. The family that was with us hugged to the center the entire time hehe.
Jess showing off ;) I coached her to do it though!
We so cute! We had the worlds BEST snowball fight too. On our way back from the trek, we walked through this wooded trail. I noticed Alex was subtly holding a snowball by his side. This would not do! So I subtly picked one up, then Jess subtly picked one up. I chucked mine at Jess's head, she threw it at Alex and Alex tossed his way forward past the four person family and the two guides. This was his "heads up to the forward group." They all passed the awesome test  though! As soon as they saw the snow, they each leaned over, scooped up the snow, and joined the battle. I don't know if you metaphorical readers have been in a snowball fight, but trees are ideal for a snowball fight. Eet was soo fun! I'm glad because I'm no longer bitter about not snowboarding. Woo!
