Vermont, if you weren’t aware, means Green Mountain and has been nicknamed the Green Mountain state. It was the 14th state in the Union and is located in New England in the north eastern Unite States. It borders Canada to the North, Massachusetts to the South, New Hampshire to the East and New York to the West. It is a state rich in history, culture, and art. It has many ties and markers that will bring you back to yester years. It’s has deep roots in history to The Revolution and is rich in personal history as my relatives have been here hundreds of years in the South West corner, in a town called Bennington.
Vermont has always called to me. I have lived here 4 different times over the course of my life and many a childhood memory as we would travel back from where we were living to celebrate holidays with the family. The very house I sit in now as I compose this journal, has been in our family since the early 1800s. But more than the family connection, Vermont to me is a sensory experience that always delights. I can remember driving from Wisconsin to Vermont for family visits. Year after year, each drive I couldn’t wait until we crossed the border to open the windows. The air just smelled so good.
Today, as I make the trek from New Jersey to Vermont, I still can’t wait to hit those mountains. As soon as I get there it’s like a big, aaaaah. Can you imagine a place like that? A place that instantly soothes and takes away your stress?
Sports, History, Art, Culture, Food and Drink are a plenty. Just pick your season. What are you waiting for?
