Another beautiful early spring day in Vermont—temperatures in the low 50s, blue skies, and sunshine with invigoratingly clean air. Nothing particularly well-planned, but we always stumble upon something fun and interesting along the way… and we did again today!
We began our day by splitting a turkey club at The Cluckin’ Cafe, just over the mountain…
Our first stop was the Hubbardton Battlefield—the drive on Monument Hill Road was spectacular, and well worth visiting!
The Orzell Family Sugar House was on the list of open sugar houses… they have 7,500 trees tapped! We purchased a ½ gallon of Grade B…
A desolate cabin in the woods… and, a great photo!
We stopped by Hired Hand Brewing Company in Vergennes—Kay recognized Jeremy Holm sitting next to us. He was in “House of Cards”, “Law & Order” and far too many things to list. A great guy, and his wife owns Daily Chocolate—literally, just around the corner!
Daily Chocolate is phonemical… Daily Chocolate chooses the finest ingredients for their recipes, and is committed to the wellbeing of our planet. Ask for Dawn, she’s Jeremy’s wife!
Another “stumble-upon-moment”… We have the entire list of Vermont’s historic roadside markers…
Now in Middlebury… The Pulp Mill Covered Bridge, also called The Paper Mill Covered Bridge, is a wooden covered bridge that crosses Otter Creek.
Behind Middlebury’s Main Street… the falls may be the most photographed spot in Middlebury!
The entrance to American Flatbread… in one of the mill buildings of the Marble Works…
American Flatbread Pizza—all-natural pizza baked in a primitive wood-fired earthen oven. Large pizza, two glasses of wine, under $45.00! Ask for Alia—she graduated from Middlebury College and spent ten years in the Foreign Service—fascinating! Make sure to ask for her!
The perfect day… We traveled 125 miles today—Hubbardton, Vergennes, Middlebury, and all points in-between. Always fun at Pond Mountain Inn!
