August 29-31, 2009. Days 41-43 Montpelier VT.






We stayed in Randolph Center VT, at the Lake Champagne Campground for 3 nights, from August 29-31. The campground was incredible. A family had taken their 100 acres of property many years earlier and made it into a campground. They put in a lake and spread out several camp areas on sloping hills that overlooked the lake. It was great. On Sunday the 30th we took a nice, slow drive around the area. We went to see the “Floating Bridge” that usually can be crossed by cars but is closed right now for some improvements. We drove by so many awesome looking little and not so little farm homes. We stopped in Randolph for lunch and had pizza at their little pizza shop. It was a nice day. On August 31st, we drove to Montpelier, Vermont, where we toured the capitol. The Capitol Building sits up against the side of a hill and was really pretty. It wasn’t big but was still impressive. We drove around Vermont a little more and found through three covered bridges. The kids thought that was cool. We then drove to the Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Factory in Waterbury, Vermont. We enjoyed the tour and we loved the sample of ice cream that they gave us. It is so green and beautiful in Vermont.
