A look back @ Summer with Vermont

UPDATE!

I'm a brand ambassador for BEADRELIEF! They are an awesome brand that sells bracelets for different charities. I got one for The A21 Campaign, a campaign that combats human trafficking, and one for The Samburu Project, a project that provides water to people in the Samburu district of Kenya.


Look at these beauties! Oh yeah I also got a guitar. It's a Taylor Mini and is adorable! I love it. It's acoustic-electric and sounds soooo good. 

Back to Vermont.
So we went around Vermont and stayed at this place called "Basin Harbor Club", a really nice, getaway, by-the-lake-and-enjoy-privacy place in a small basin along Lake Champlain (lake the leads out to Canada). I think I fell in love with Vermont? It's such a beautiful place. I think it's also so admirable how everything is independently grown and everyone just loves everyone. IDK. Vermont tho. Here are some pictures :-)


Ahhh LOOK AT VERMONT all the FLOWERS AND NATURE and

My bro caught a huge fish! It kind of creeps me out cause where he caught it was where I swam and everything.
I got so freaked out I refused to swim in the lake again



We visited Middlebury College! Potential higher education option for yours truly.


LOOK at this beautiful and amazing fruit tart. It was $5. The place was called "Vergennes Laundry",  and it is legit the most hipster cafe I have ever been in. They write their menu (which I think changes daily) on recyclable paper that hangs from a wall (like the one we use in restrooms). Really good cookies too.

I thought these sunflowers were so pretty! They were HUGE. I wanted one but it was impractical so I wasn't allowed to buy one. It's literally the size of my face.



We went to the Burlington Farmer's Market, and they have like AMAZING stuff everything there is so pretty and great and homegrown.

We also bought homemade root beer, it was really good. It tasted special and very "rich", if root beer even is that deep. Homemade stuff is #1.

Weird photo but we were roasting marshmallows and listening to this guy finger style. It was great. 



Look at these 2 boys selling lemonade and all! They were making $$$$$$$


Met this artist @ the flea and LOOK AT HER WORK? I want to cry it's so beautiful.


Also met the girl behind "Nicole's Threads". I am so in love with her idea and her shop and earrings and everything

This etsy quality jewellery tho

BERRIES! 

We visited the original BEN AND JERRY'S factory and got to see how they make ice cream and taste some too! Ah, Vermont. Land of cows and cream

We almost went to The Von Trapp Family lodge, but we were too tired. So we retired to another small town, Stowe, and had some nice fish and chips at a local diner.
