Vermont's Green Mountains

So this week work had me in the Green Mountains of Vermont, specifically Stowe.  

I know, it's a tough assignment, but someone has to do it. :)

Trouble is, when dealing with food folk - sometimes the hours are not as conducive to sight seeing. 

Driving up to Stowe for a 6 am breakfast start is nice enough, but getting out by 2 and having time to see things rocks!

Served 250 people breakfast in an hour for my client, cleaned up and made sure we were set for next day.

Upon release, we did the touristy things:

The Von Trapp family lodge

After a couple flights, I was tempted to run own the hill singing 'the hills are alive' but the local police stopped in for lunch and I did not need any more attention. Not after those two flights.

Then we hit Ben and Jerry's for a sweet fix, and to see the dead flavor cemetery.  

Found this at the Matterhorn:

A BBQ rig set up in a VW bug.  Clever marketing.

Then, socially lubricated to the right setting, it was time for the alpine slide.

I found the slide to be a tad lame, but the views were breathtaking.

Then it was time for a nap before dinner, all to do it again in the morning.
