Ben & Jerry's!! (Day 8) 9/16/09

Today started off with a hotel breakfast in probably the best hotel we've been to on our trip. It was clean, friendly, modern, etc.
We left for Vermont at around 11:30. The drive out was very scenic and beautifull. Dad even took a couple pics of us, but like many things on this trip, you really have to go there to appreciate their full grandeur.




We then headed for Lake Champlain, and ultimately Vermont. We ended up taking a ferry across, as Nancy (Our GPS) decided that it was faster than driving to a bridge.


Ducks FTW


We drove about an hour into Vermont and stopped for the Ben & Jerry's factory. It was a lot of fun. There was an introduction movie about how the reason Ben & Jerry's makes ice cream is because it was cheaper than a bagel machine at the time they founded it. We then got to see the factory where it's made, and then got free samples of Mint Choco Chunk. You should see it if you ever go through Waterbury.

We are now at the Comfort Inn at St. Johnsbury, VT. Seeya tomorrow!
