Brattleboro, Vermont
We visited Brattleboro, Vermont and surrounding towns in the Summer of 2004 with our 6-year-old son.
We stayed at the Quality Inn, which we enjoyed as there was an indoor pool, a video game room, and free breakfast buffet in the morning! We got a room with a king-sized bed and a pull-out sofa, which turned out to be great! We enjoyed having the 'walking around' room and the sofa to sit on, when our son was not sleeping on it, and having the large comfortable king-sized bed.
In the morning we drove to Bellows Falls, where we rode on the Green Mountain Flyer, a scenic 1930s diesel train ride. Then we drove to Wilmington, where we visited the Adams Family Farm. At the Farm, we fed many animals, saw some demonstrations, and held the kittens. The highlight was a tractor ride, with the Farm patriarch as guide. We learned a lot about the history of Vermont, the Farm, and maple sugaring. We also visited the gift shop and bought some homemade fudge and some souvenirs.
