Vermont!

This weekend Cupcake and I drove up to Vermont to hang out with Atticus. We had a blast! We started the weekend with a very looooooong snowy drive. But when we arrived, we made tasty dinner, Atticus made some delicious drinks, and before long we were all hanging out in her living room with a bunch of cozy blankets and my Super Secret Christmas Present (to be revealed on Christmas). The next morning, I woke to this view:

We'd decided to do a culinary tour of Vermont, so we started things off by getting breakfast at a Dutch pancake house that Cupcake had heard about.

After breakfast, we headed to Stowe and wandered into a bunch of little craft shops because we needed some time to digest before eating anything else:

After that, we went off to Lake Champlain chocolates (no photos of that) and we took a random pit stop where we discovered a ginormous apple cider press, live bees, and a bunch of free samples.

From there we went to the Cabot Cheese outlet, where we gorged ourselves and Cupcake posed as a cow.

After that it was time for our last stop - the Ben and Jerry's factory! Cupcake and I joined forces to tackle the biggest ice cream sunday ever. Ok that's not true. It's the "Mini Vermonster" which means there is an even bigger one we didn't get because Atticus was done with food and there was no way two people could've handled it.

At this point we were all so stuffed that the food tour was over and Atticus needed a nap. So we went back to her place and then Cupcake and I headed home, with one last pit stop late at night for vegan pizza. Because oh man I was so done with dairy at that point.
