Vermont
Vermont Views; at Michael's on the Hill in Stowe
It all started back on November 9th.  In the heat of passion I declared fiercely that I would not be stepping a toe across the border until America had come back to it's beautiful senses.  Until "normality", decency and common sense good was restored.  While Trump was in power (which he has clearly misused) I would not spend a dime in the good ole U.S of A.  Our yearly hiking trip to the South West or discovering a city for the first or second or third time would not happen again for at least four years. 
Two years in, and the travel itch had overwhelmed me.  I broke down and started researching states that would not only welcome a Canadian (um guys why aren't you yelling at the top of your lungs to protect a very fair trade deal that we have in place.  One that you definitely  already have the advantage over.) but allow a weekend where I could leave as much politics at home and not fear certain things, like gun violence, racism and women's rights. 
I love the United States,  I have met and continue to meet wonderful people, and that brings me hope. 
So on to the trip.   Vermont kind of crept up on me.  The hiking looked great, the scenery and the relative closeness to us made it very appealing.  Wood fired everything, and lot of options for Craft Beer and Cider.    So when I mentioned it to a long time travel bud, plans started to happen.  We packed up our husbands and dogs and hit the road. 
The entire trip was wonderful,  Our Cabin was literally on a mountain in the forest.  The people we interacted with were wonderful (Special shout out to sweet spot owners Jess from Hender's in Waterbury and William from Rainbow Sweets in Marshfield) and the scenery was breathtaking.  
I definitely plan on doing multiple follow up trips, and this time add some hiking and big mountain climbs.  
Check out the up coming collaboration post, with our Top 5 things to do in Vermont in a weekend.  
In the meantime here are some teasers of the trip!!

I totally agree with you when it comes to travelling. Life is too short! I've always been so passionate about travelling. If only I could travel as much as I can every year, I would. Learning is very essential when travelling.

You haven’t any concept how an awful lot I’d love to journey to each of these locations, now not just in wintry weather, however every time! This winter although, I’ve already booked a short journey.

Awesome site you have here but I was curious if you knew of any message boards that cover the same topics talked about here? I'd really like to be a part of group where I can get opinions from other experienced people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Bless you!

A journey like this one is what I need. My life has been pretty boring for the past couple of days, so I could really use something new in my life. I know that it is too early for me to say it, but I really want to go and retire. I mean, all the work that I do is not really making me grow. I want to go and do things that will actually make me a better version of myself.

Beautiful. I think you might have told me about this cake. Last year or so I published a post on making a salad dressing using a whole lemon, and it was outstanding! But your cake is especially appealing to me because I can't handle most sweet lemon bars!

Learning is very essential when travelling. Meeting new people and getting to know about their culture and way of life is a must. Whenever I travel, I try to make sure to follow an off beaten path.

I like the idea of turning the field trip into a fun game. My kid is going on his first field trip and I want him to have a good time. After all, kids remember hands-on experiences more than what they hear in the classroom.
