Vermont vacation Part 2

Yesterday, we went to Lake Champlain Chocolate Plant in Burlington, VT. We participated with a mini tour of their facility and learned how they make their chocolates and all that.

Their chocolate chips actually comes from Bernard Callebaut, which is another famous chocolatier. While we were at the store/plant, they were making Chocolate Truffles. We could see those delicious little heavean sent on the conveyor belt behind a see through glass wall.

After the tour, we got to taste their milk chocolate and also a 54% cocoa dark chocolate. It was an awesome experience...Free chocolates!!! Mmmmm....

Anyhow, we picked up a couple of things as even though they are very very good, they are also very expensive!
Below are pics I took while we were there. I love the robot chocolates, they look so yummy!!!

Vermont vacation Part 1

We made it to Vermont yesterday around 5:30PM. It was a nice drive, definitely one of the nicest for sure. What was really weird was, when we crossed the border, it was like ghost town. There were I think about 5 booths, give or take and they were all empty. We got through and they gave us our passports right away, except for Robin as he needs to go inside to pay.

Normally, they take all the passports and we all have to go in, but they were like, here you go.... Yeah, total opposite from the peace bridge or niagara falls border.....
I took some pics this morning quickly, but I will post more pics later....We're too lazy today...Ha ha ha...so just sitting around relaxing....Well except for Lex.. He is too pumped up and want to go swimming....He's been a bad boy all morning so we'll see if Robin will take him to the pool..:D
Here are some shots I took from the balcony of our suite. Enjoy!













Part 2 of this trip will come soon!
