We left our hotel this morning at 8:15 am and headed west. We needed to do something interesting in Vermont before continuing on. What do people do in Vermont when they don't have time to camp, kayak or hike? They visit the Ben & Jerry's factory! They had a wood fire pizza oven serving up tasty slices, so we each had one before heading in to the land of sweetness. We had a nice tour and got a large sample at the end. Then we needed to buy our own serving as well. The most interesting thing we learned was that each employee at Ben & Jerry's gets 3 pints of free ice cream to take home EVERY DAY. Holy Cow! We also visited the graveyard for old flavors before continuing on with the next 8 hours of driving.

Vermont has very pretty rocks, trees and vistas. In New York, we drove through the Adirondacks, more lovely vistas. We stopped outside Syracuse for a light dinner. More sensible people would have probably stopped there for the night, but not us. We could have stopped in Rochester, but no, we drove on to Buffalo. We got to our hotel at 9:45 pm and finished off our dinner with an order of Buffalo wings. Best ever. Yes, we have been to 48 states and now we're heading home.
