Burlington, VT





This is what I would call a "hip" place!! How fun!!

This place is a hidden gem! It has a little bit of everything! And did you know that Lake Champlain is the 6th largest fresh water lake in the US?

This is simply a great place to kick back and enjoy the beauty, not to mention that Ben and Jerry's ice cream started here. We got to taste the product and man was it great!! Thanks!

We also got to see maple syrup being made. It was very neat!
