Ben and Jerry's

We got to Country Roads Campground last night, in time for a campfire and roasting marshmallows.  The campground was very nice, in the mountains of New York near Howe Caverns.  It was our original intention to visit the Caverns today but there was no way we could fit it in today along with Ben and Jerry’s so we decided to head to Vermont this morning to take Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream Tour.  It was cute, Maddie made a spin art picture, we watched a movie about the history of Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream, we saw the plant where they made the ice cream, they were making Cherry Garcia today, and we visited the tasting room where we got to try Save our Swirl.  It was quite yummie, raspberry ice cream with white chocolate and milk chocolate shaped “cones.”  We all got our own ice cream after the tour and then went to the “Flavor Grave Yard” where they have tombstones bearing the names of the retired flavors.  We all enjoyed the diversion and now we can say we have properly visited Vermont.  (We have a rule that we have to do “something “in the state in order to say we have been there-LOL).   After that we drove to New Hampshire, where we are currently staying the night in a Wal-Mart Parking lot not too far from the Cog Railroad, where we will go tomorrow.   Tonight we will just kick back and watch a movie before going to be early, since we have to be up early for the train.
