Field of Dreams Tour - Traveling to Plymouth

A Vermont farm, somewhere between Rutland and Woodstock. Another covered bridge - this one near Killington, VT The covered bridge at Taftsville, on the way to Sugarbush Farm (Mmm....cheese). "I am a goat. Feeeeeed me!" At Sugarbush Farm, the third generation of the family is still sugaring and selling the syrup The famed Green Mountains of Vermont. Not much as mountains if you grew up with the Sierras, but absolutely gorgeous nonetheless. The barn at Sugarbush Farm. Arriving in the Granite State. In New Hampshire, the state is ready to meet all your needs: Liquor, gambling... Nearly 1400 miles of driving since we landed in Philadelphia, and we arrive in Plymouth, at the top of Cape Cod.

Saturday was all about travel - driving across Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts to get to Plymouth. The kids were troopers about it (thank goodness for the GameBoy!), and we broke the trip up by having lunch in the most picturesque little Vermont town, Woodstock (hint: the Mountain Creamery may be an ice cream parlour, but it serve up a good lunch!).

We also hit Sugarbush Farm along the way, a family run farm next to Taftsville that still has a sugaring operation and sells cheese made through a local cooperative. Sugarbush is just a family farm, nothing fancy and the sugaring shed is something you can explore the 48 weeks a year its not operating! But unlike going to a commercial sugaring operation or one the ubiquitous maple syrup museum/gift shop/etc. around Vermont, this is really just a family farm selling their cheese and syrup out of the house.

Not a lot of pictures of New Hampshire - it just felt like were driving the a forest the whole way through the state. It was beautiful, but not terribly picture-worthy.

Tomorrow: Plymouth and our trip back in time to 1620 as we visit the Plimoth Plantation and the replica of the Mayflower.
