Good morning, y’all, and welcome to my first Vermont vlog. I’ve been waiting to show you what life has been like up here, but the weather has honestly been so horrible—crazy winter snow (like, well over a foot) and then what felt like nonstop rainy, cloudy weekends. But we finally got some beautiful days, so I picked up my camera whenever it was nice and put together a little “all over the place” spring vlog of what we’ve been up to. We kicked things off with Maple Open House Weekend, which genuinely feels like the initiation into Vermont spring and summer. We hit Palmer’s Sugar House for a maple pancake breakfast and then Shelburne Sugar Works for a tour to see how the syrup gets out of the trees (and yes, we took maple syrup home). Then Jack took a day off and we did a Boston day trip for the Red Sox vs. Rangers—walking around, soaking up the sunshine, and I tested out some Target Mary Jane flats to see if they could survive the city. After that, we headed to Stowe for the Von Trapp Family Lodge (The Sound of Music changed my life, so this was everything), plus a stop at Cold Hollow Cider Mill for the best donuts ever. I also shared a little day-in-my-life moment—errands, scrapbooking our adventures, and planning a sunset picnic because the rain was coming right back.
