Karen and Matt eat dinner in the fancy restaurant here quite a bit, something that I've never done but they love it. Next trip to VT, I'll take you there, my treat. P.S.

My girlfriend and I used to go here a lot on winter Sundays to walk for hours with the dogs in the snow. We'd get bagels and have breakfast on the shore of the lake or in the shelter of one of the barns. Afterwards, we'd come back and cook up a good meal and watch a movie. Sometimes we'd be joined by our guy friends, but we always relished the time alone to talk and walk and watch the dogs frolic. When Jack was little, Ian and I took him here. He walked almost a mile and we didn't know that this was far for a one year old - his legs were sore the next day and Karen's doctor chided us for letting him walk so long on young legs. I believe it is one of the prettiest places in Vermont. Smithsonian featured it on the cover one year; I still have the article somewhere if Dad didn't toss it while cleaning out the barn!
