We left the White Mountains of New Hampshire and enjoyed the drive through the Green Mountains of Vermont (their mountains are indeed Green this time of year!)....but our sights were clearly on the Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory in Waterbury, VT! We arrived just in time for the noon tour and even Lori liked the Triple Caramel Chunk (she doesn't usually go for caramel) sample that we got at the end of the tour. To celebrate the end of our school year, the kids all got to pick a treat at the hand-dipped store. Of course I had to sample some flavors to make a decision...The Tonight Dough...NY Super Fudge...Chunky Monkey...American Dream. It was a touch decision, but I went with American Dream with caramel swirls fudge covered waffle cone bits in a vanilla ice cream base! I think Phish Food is still my favorite with chocolate ice cream, marshmallow swirls, chocolate fish filled with caramel! From their hippy roots, Ben and Jerry have certainly built a terrific brand of ice cream despite burning down their first Ice Cream Mobile (RV) on a cross country publicity tour!

CONGRATULATIONS on finishing up a school year to rival all school years. And I cannot think of a better way to celebrate than at Ben & Jerry's !!!!! You can all be very proud of yourselves--Dad and I are sure proud of you. The rest of the trip will hopefully seem more like a vacation for you--fewer scholastic deadlines??? Love, Mom
