What a terrific weekend in Vermont!

I love Vermont. It’s such a special place filled with red barns, covered bridges, ben and jerry’s ice cream, a favorite college friend, and really fun skiing!!

Zan and I drove up after work on Friday and headed straight to Burlington, where we spent the night with Julie, a roommate from my beloved “Brickhouse” in college. Jules had homemade beef stew waiting for us when we arrived. It tasted just perfect after our long drive and we spent the evening catching up on what’s new and reminiscing about the old.

Saturday it was up and at ’em as we headed up to Sugarbush for a day of skiing.

Perfect weather and lots and lots of snow!

The snow was amazing, by our standards, and the many “locals” that we talked to on the lifts while we headed up to the top of the mountain.

Here are some neat pictures I took from my phone’s retro camera app… love the vintage look!

On Saturday night we stayed at an adorable B&B, The Inn at Lareau Farm, just a few miles from the mountain. The house was so cozy, with ample snacks and beverages meant just for the guests, extremely comfortable beds, and perfectly hot and wonderful showers (which felt particularly terrific after a long day of skiing). The breakfast was an omelette of our choosing (MMm!), and  the Inn prides itself on being a working farm, using only organic produce and sustainably raised meats.

Highly recommended if you’re ever looking for a place to stay over a skiing weekend! We couldn’t have been happier! How was your weekend? Hope it was a good one!
