Cold Hollow Cider Mill
They claimed to have “Legendary” cider donuts. As you can tell by our reactions, they were not quite so legendary. They also use modern equipment to press their cider. If you want to see how REAL cider is made and taste truly “Legendary” cider donuts, may I suggest Clyde’s Cider Mill right here in Mystic, CT. You can see some pics from there in my Autumn Fun post. Found something special for a friend. Hope to send it someday.
Ben & Jerry’s
We had a good time tasting ice cream, the boys poked their heads through thing again and we paid our respects in the flavor graveyard. The free samples were Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream, by the way. Tasty stuff.
The Skinny Pancake & Capitol Grounds
We had a fantastic dinner at the Skinny Pancake in Montpelier. I’ve highlighted our favorites on the menu. I also thought the design of the flatware was really cool. We then went across the street to Capitol Grounds where the sign outside on the sidewalk said “Drink more hot chocolate”. So we did. I even, somehow, got Noah to smile for a picture.
Burlington
Before heading home we took a quick spin around Burlington and I took a couple quick snaps of an interesting cafe (sorry, no Superman sightings) and some lovely artwork.
It was a pretty busy weekend and we covered a lot of miles as you can see from the trip odometer reading.
