Vermont

A camping trip has almost become a summer tradition for us. Pitching tents, barbecues, a hike, awesome views, lots of driving, friends, family and loads of fun! Although each trip has been great and different in its own way, Vermont and Lake George (which I will write about in a different post) have, by far, been the best.

We went to Vermont a couple of years ago with friends. Long weekend, so we had 3-4 days for the trip. Drove all the way upto a certain point, I forget where exactly we had to board the Lake Champlain ferry, car and everything. The views of the lake and the surrounding areas were beautiful.



We also stopped by the Ben & Jerry's ice-cream factory before heading to the campsite.



Checked in to the campsite, pitched tents, had the campfire going and the works! The next day, we went on a really long hike up Mt. Mansfield, the highest mountain in Vermont.




I think the hike took us pretty much most of the day, if I remember it right. I don't remember if we stayed another day, if we did, we just chilled out at the campsite. The state park was really nice, with a little beach & picnic area.



Looking forward to the summer!

I love Ben & Jerry's. They have just come to Australia and are a novelty here unlike in the US. I can never get enough of them!!!

:) Since Godiva stopped making their Belgian dark chocolate icecream, I buy something equivalent from Ben & Jerry's..I like their flavors too!
