Yesterday started with breakfast at Heather and Lauren's house, the our tribe, along with my mother, brother, Joseph, and Micah went out for the day's adventure. We started at the Glen Moss Falls outside of Waterbury. Despite the signs warning us of the dangers of climbing over the rocks, we could not help ourselves and climbed up near the falls. We had a few incidents of children, and Allen, falling into the water. We made it through without any injuries, for which I considered us lucky given some of the precarious places in which the kids found themselves.
Our next stop was the Ben & Jerry's factory in Waterbury. We were lucky enough to get into a tour just as we arrived and we spent the next half an hour watching a film about the history of the company and learning how they make their delicious ice cream. The tour ended in the tasting room where we were able to try their mint chocolate chunk, Allen's favorite flavor. I disappointed Adelaide by declining her request to stop by the ice cream counter for additional treats, deciding it would be more responsible to eat lunch before filling ourselves with more ice cream. We ate lunch at the Park Row Café, at the suggestion of one of the employees at Ben & Jerry's, and headed back to Montpelier.
On our way into town, Jll dropped me, Allen, Alastair, and Dagny off at the state capitol. We took a quick tour, guided by our tour guide Thaddeus, and learned that the black marble floor tiles contained fossils, which very much intrigued Alastair and Dagny. By the time we left, it started to rain pretty hard, so we had to stop at the Capitol Grounds coffee shop for coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. When the rain subsided, we walked back to Heather and Lauren's, where we met up with Lauren's mother, Suzanne, and her friend Sue. We had a big family dinner to celebrate Suzanne's birthday and ended the night with more ice cream.
By the time we got back to the RV park, it had started to rain pretty hard again and I lost my flip flops in the mud running to the shower house. It was pleasant falling asleep at the sound of the rain hitting the top of the RV. By looking at the forecast, it seems like it may well rain for the duration of our stay in Vermont, so we'll see how many indoor activities we can find.
