Daily Narrative
A special first anniversary for Brian and Theresa in the "green mountain
state"! We began the day at the very nice Smuggler's Notch State
Camp Ground, where we had pitched our tent in a lean-to the night before.
We drove back through the ski resort town of Stowe and stopped at Waterbury
Center at the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream factory. The Ben &
Jerry's factory is an educational experience in everything from community
involvement to agricultural practices. Theresa and Brian exchanged
anniversary gifts, learning later that the first anniversary is supposed
to be "paper" and not "Ben & Jerry's Momentos"... We went on
to Burlington and walked up and down the hip, yet trendy, shopping area
on Church Street. Theresa found lots of cool funky hippy clothes
and bemoaned the fact that she is not more of a cool funky hippy.
She vows to be some day. Brian found a Borders Books and Music, bought
a book and sat on a rock reading while Theresa shopped. We had lunch
at an outdoor cafe and Brian eventually remembered how to find his old
employer, Burton Snowboards, where we poked around in the factory store
and looked at snowboard history. We then returned to Montpelier for
a wonderful dinner with Brian's friend Pat, her dad and his new wife.
It was very pleasant to sit and visit over dinner. After dark Brian
& Theresa went for a walk to watch fireflies in an open pasture near
Pat's house. Quite romantic....
