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
