(This is the first in what will hopefully be a short series regarding the recent five-day visit from my young'uns. Thank you.)
Dealing with two sugar- and adrenaline-enhanced under-eight children is a multiple step process, and can take many different routes, but the first step is almost always as follows: Get them out of the %&@$! house. As a result, we had ourselves a busy five days. The first grand adventure took place on Saturday, when we all road-tripped it up to Shelburne, Vermont, home to a sprawling outdoor historical museum that Anna remembered from her childhood, and a destination that took ferry rides across Lake Champlain to get to and from. Great fun was had by all (the ferry was a blast, and the museum allowed my children to point and laugh as Daddy strapped on a bonnet and apron in the dress-up section), but it reminded me that, really, Vermont is a very different beastie from upstate New York.
Here, then, is Adam's list of ( how to tell you're in Vermont now, Dorothy )
