Anyone from Vermont? Need travel help...

[kkraczek]

Next weekend my hubby and I will be in Manchester, Vermont for a wedding- then we'll have one day on our own before we have to travel down to the airport in Hartford CT. I have never been to Vermont, so have no clue as to what we should see, especially given our limited time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I have been through Vermont on the way to Canada a few times. I know there are no billboards and their state capital looks like a small village. There is lots of old world architecture and some great vistas with unspoiled views. If you like to shop I know there is some great outlet shopping up in there. Why not take a trip in to Mass. and visit the Holyoke mountains and the Potters Seat in Greenfield, Mass. You could also get a nice cold homemade beer from the People's Pint.

Thanks Z! I guess I hadn't thought about heading south for the day, but that's actually a pretty smart idea. I'm mostly interested in beautiful scenery. My husband is mostly interested in the beer.

So, we'll see what happens. Thanks for the suggestion!

If you need any directions on how to get down to Greenfield, let me know and I'll see if I can help you out. My sis works at the pub I was telling you about by the way. The Holyoke's are really gorgoeus this time of year, and I'm willing to bet that you could probably see some bear or a moose or two. Oh and my recommendation on the beer would be the Summer Honey Wheat or the Farmer Brown Ale. Both are delicious and organic.

Thanks again Z- looking forward to it!
