  • For our next Vermont adventure we spent a day exploring Burlington, which is the largest city in the state and is located right on Lake Champlain. We visited the charming Church Street Marketplace, grabbed coffee that supports an amazing cause, biked across part of the lake, and enjoyed some tasty BBQ. It was a great day in this beautiful city!

      I've driven 4.5 million miles across this big beautiful country for the last 40 years.. The fall color is spectacular and never fails to amaze me! It's a yearly thing for me to crisscross the new England states , upstate new York, then down thru the eye 81 corridor. Always a memory worth the traffic. This country is so diverse!! Get out and explore all you can and make those memories!!

    For those wondering what is on the other side of the bike ferry in the Champlain Islands - it's flat, picturesque farmland with little traffic and more amazing views of the lake. There are a couple of apple orchards to visit with all the typical fall goodies. Plus Snow Farm Vineyards is a great stop in the Islands - they do live music on Thursday nights during the summer with about 500-1,000 people dancing in the field! The rest of Vermont is very hilly, so this is one of the more bikeable areas in the State and the people are as friendly as can be. Also, it's a fun place to spot art projects - there are about a dozen or so miniature stone castles built (one is at the house next to Snowfarm) and there is a forest filled with hundreds of colorful birdhouses and even some dinosaur statues (also near Snowfarm). The islands are worth a casual day trip!

    Live in Plattsburgh, NY (across from Burlington) for almost 2 years in the 80's. Loved my visits across the lake on the ferry. Vermont is a great late Spring through early Fall area for sightseeing. There is always Killington, VT for skiing as well.

    The bikes look so fun! Brussels sprouts are one of the most underrated veggies, in my opinion. So many people won't even try them because they have this bad memory from childhood. I'm roasting some tonight for dinner with a squash! I feel like you can't go wrong with burnt ends, it all looked great.

    I used to be really proud of how I started liking Brussels sprouts as a adult until I read that they were successfully bred for better taste in the 90s. I guess they grew up AND I grew up at the same time.

    Always so happy to see you tubers who visit our area and get outside of Burlington to enjoy places like the causeway! Also so happy you guys were able to check out the Perky Planet as they had a really rough time during the pandemic as it coincided with some major road work that blocked the street up a lot and hid this little gem away.

      @AdventuresofAplusK  Před 2 lety +1

    We hit up Vermont for vacation this past summer and spent one day in Burlington. We really enjoyed the city as well and wished we had more time in the area. Ate brunch at the Friendly Toast, visited Church Street Marketplace, saw the World’s Tallest Filing Cabinet, and took a cruise on Lake Champlain in a small sailboat. They even let our boys steer the boat.

I love this area. The BBQ looks so delicious and those thick Ribs and brisket...THAT is definitely a Jawful of absolute DELICIOUSNESS! I would be in bbq heaven😊😊😊🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗! Now I see that you are heading south on I-89 to the beautiful town of Waterbury which is home to not only that really nice BW hotel but it's also home to the Ben & Jerry's ICE CREAM where you get the history of this wonderful place and take a tour of the factory and taste samples...I have done it and you will definitely enjoy it.

      I worked on Church Street, and even in the mornings it would be bustling. Magrams Market drew a crowd in the morning, but Magrams left, Woolworths left, and more recently Borders and Macy's. It's declined a lot and the death of the mall and the stalled City Place are destroying what's left. Once LL Bean moves out, I wonder what will happen with what's left.

    Looks like Autumn hasn't exactly peaked up there yet either. I live in Southwest Pennsylvania and half of our leaves are brown and falling off the only colors I'm seeing are yellow and every here and there a red but very rare. Last fall and the one before were absolutely gorgeous here. I'm bummed. I feel ripped off. Great video guys ‼️ okay just read your pinned comment now I understand why hardly any fall colors. One year we did a tour of Vermont New Hampshire and New York while the colors were peaked and it was the most breathtaking vacation. Lol L

  • @joelechner466
    @joelechner466 Před 2 lety

    Oh man, we were in Burlington back in June. Did the whole bike trail thing too... except on regular bikes, and I had a trailer attached to mine to hold the dog and my 8 year old son - who would have been more than capable of riding his own bike, but we thought we'd save some money - so that added about 90 pounds (dog + child) - not easy to pull - plus it started pouring down rain when we were on the causeway. I had a terrible attitude and told my wife it was one of the worst things we'd ever done. She cried. Total fail on my part, lol!

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  Před 2 lety +1

      You could definitely explore Vermont from here. Stowe, Montpelier, and the green mountains aren’t far, and the Adirondacks could be a long day trip (if the ferry is running it would be easier to get to, it wasn’t running for us). But the white mountains in NH (if you want to go there, highly recommend it!), would be about 2 hours each way, so that may be tough. But there is a ton to see in Vermont alone!

    It's official, our food tastes outside of sweet things are polar opposites. Kathryn, how can you love Brussel Sprouts 🤢 and you picked them up when there was Poutine on the menu?!!? But it was lovely getting to see a snap shot of Burlington again. I wish so much that I'd had the time/flexibility to cycle the lake shore, it looked stunning in your video - did it good justice there! Really liked Perky Planet Coffee. My other half is incredibly hard of hearing and he recognises that with his job, he's lucky that it's not too much of a burden, but having an employer like Perky Planet Coffee who will think through the design of spaces to make a workplace work for an employee is just the best. I spotted Starbucks in your B-roll shots - it's got nothing on it! So pleased to see you guys are being recognised by Best Western again with the hotel - it looks GORGEOUS!!!
