As we headed off to a weekend of yoga and music I was reminded that the journey is just as important as the destination (sometimes even more important). And just as delicious as our journey included snack stops! Our snack theme seemed to be maple!
My sister and I picked up coffee and scones near by house then met a friend at the airport from a morning flight and we headed straight from the airport to Parker's Maple Barn in New Hampshire. Might as well try to get food in every state today! So, Mass & New Hampshire down we continued on to Vermont.
Every time I am in Brattleboro I end up at Mocha Joe's. If you get a maple latte they put real maple syrup in it... so of course we stopped in for iced lattes.
On our way out of town we saw a sign for Saxtons River Distillery and free tastings... so we made a quick stop there. The Sapling Vermont Maple Liqueur is delicious!
There is something special about Vermont. The landscape is beautiful, the people are friendly... it is probably the only state that with out hesitation if someone is cooking something on the side of the road I know I want to eat it. So when I saw the sign for Pizza Hippo on the side of the road I didn't hesitate to pull off. Under a little tent in a field with the house and gardens in the background was a grill and a girl ready to makes us a salad, pizza, lemonade and set us up at a picnic table. We tried the pizza of the day which had a curry sauce, vegetables and no cheese. It was great!
A few stops for provisions since we were staying in a condo...
We made a stop at a Dutton's Berry Farm farm stand & caught the very end of the Townshend Farmers Market where we got pickles and local sausage.
And we made it to Stratton Mountain it in time to catch the sunset.

We made it! This beautiful space in this beautiful state, ready to to be open, inspired, educated... and share joy for this beautiful weekend of yoga and music.
