Welcome to this year's Vermont Winter Weekend!  We stayed in Williston again as we really enjoyed the location right off 89.  It's easy to get to Burlington or Bolton Valley.  We starte off at Bolton Valley to downhill ski.  G had a lesson as part of the Learn To Turn program by Indy Pass.  Mike had fun skiing some more challenging trails and skiing in the woods while G had her 2 hour lesson.  

After skiing we met a friend at Burlington Beer Company.  This place had a great vibe and awesome food!  If you are in the Burlington VT area, we highly recommend this place.  

The next day we decided to try cross country skiing at Rikert Outdoor Center.  We had a lot of falls but even more laughs.  We can't wait to try it again, perhaps when the feel like temp is higher than -15!  Rikert Outdoor Center had a really cool vibe and we would go back!  

On Tik Tok, we asked for recommendations and one recommendation, thank you Baird Farm!, was to go check out Brandon, VT.  We stayed at the Brandon Inn.  It's a beautiful historical hotel that is right in the center of town.  

We stopped in at The Bookstore, and of course we checked out Sweet Sappy's for the obligatory Maple Creemee and G tried their sapagato, their version of an affagato with coffee and maple creemee.  It was so good, the wind chill didn't even bother us!  This shop is adorable, with many cute Vermont made gifts.  We bought an adorable painting that spoke to us too.  

For breakfast the next morning we headed over to Mendon, VT to eat at Sugar & Spice for breakfast.  This place was well worth the wait.  We went on a very busy Sunday morning, but it was so good.  

Finally we went through Woodstock, Vermont on the way home where we had some really good drinks at Mon Vert Cafe!  They are well worth the stop! 

We had such a fun weekend checking out different ski areas.  Thanks for joining us!
