According to Danielle, the Ben & Jerry's website said that the last tour of the day was 5 p.m. Because of that, I drove like a bat out of hell to make it there in time. As we walked through the door we realized that tours continued until 9 p.m. Oh well. All in all, the tour, at $5, was a great value.
Some highlights:
*Both Ben and Jerry are no longer involved with the brand's day-to-day operations.
*Our tour guide, a high school girl, quizzed the group on the brand's commercials, and Danielle answered the most questions correctly.
*I tried Milk & Cookies; Danielle can't recall the one she tried.
Driving on the Vermont highway, the sun was just setting. All those cool little smudges in the windshield come from Danielle's toes. :)
This was the backdrop as we played disc golf in Burlington, Vt. The good thing: we found a pro course and were finally able to let our drivers loose. The bad thing: because of the woodiness of No. 18, I lost my favorite driver. Oddly enough, the disc golf course was only five minutes from Ben & Jerry's.
We found the cutest little cookie place en route from Vermont to New York. It's called Vermont Cookie Love and had amazingly soft chocolate chip cookies. This one has ice cream and whipped cream. The road ran parallel to the mountain range. Along the way, we also saw a llama.
