First stop VT


Dear Briggz,
            We started our sabbatical in Waterbury VT. Our first excursion was to Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. The tour we took started by watching a movie about how Ben and Jerry started making ice cream. Our next stop was the production floor. We could see 7 of the 9 steps it takes to make their ice cream. The best part was at the end when we went to the sample room and were given scoops of a flavor called “Milk and Cookies”.  After the official tour we walked up to the flavor graveyard. We saw flavors that have stopped being made like fossil fuel and peanut butter cookie dough. Before we left we needed to eat more ice cream so J and C shared “Cookie Dough”, A and Mom shared “Fish Food” and even dad found one he could eat with no milk in, it was called “Mango Sorbet”.
            Our next stop was to the Cabot Cheese annex. They had samples available of all the cheeses they made. A tried everyone they had!! We bought 3 blocks of cheese before we headed back to the campground.
            The next day we stayed at the campground. We tried to catch some fish but had no luck. The boys all completed the Jr. ranger program and A and C went to a ranger class about animal footprints and furs.

We miss you,
Love Us All
