We hiked into a waterfall. Unfortunately it pretty much frozen and snowed over and the water wasn't so much "falling" anymore. But it was a beautiful day and fun little jaunt through the snowy woods.We checked out the cute shops in Stowe (A little painful to not be skiing there, but lift tickets are steep these days !) and ate at StoweDogs. A gourmet hotdog place. It was super cute! Three generations, (Grandma, her son and his daughter) were working there. The grandma was super sweet and made homemade baked goods. But my favorite part? There are snapshots of peoples dogs pinned to the wall with tacks. They cover the wall and written beneath each one in magic marker is the dog's name and where he/she is from. So cute!
Once our bellies were full, we took a drive past the Trapp Family Lodge (As in the Von Trapp family from sound of music.) Umm, yeah. Had no idea that they were a real family and that they relocated to VT and built a mansion in Stowe!
From there we stopped at a cider mill that has the absolute best apple cider donuts that I've ever tasted! Delish. Then we mosied through Waterbury touring the Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and finding a little gem in the Vermont Tea Company! A visit with some old friends Dan and Heather and a relaxed night in watching movies topped it all off! (Here are a few more shots from a grrrreat day!)

Woo-hoo! Two posts in one day! I love all your beautiful photos of the covered bridges, mountains, frozen waterfalls,Steph and you, etc.
True story -- you have been to the Von Trapp family lodge once before! We stopped there on the way back from the family reunion in New York, summer of '85. Daddy went in to check out the prices because we thought it would be cool to stay there one night, but it was about $250 a night! I wonder what it costs now?! We ended up staying in a cheapo place on the highway, but it had a lovely stream out back, and a view of the mountains. Anyway, you were only 3, so I guess you wouldn't remember. :-)
Awwww! That's awesome!
