trek to taste

Trek to Taste is an annual event in Woodstock highlighting local foods and growers. With the National Park as the venue, the one day event takes participants around the trails of the Mount Tom forest and allows several 'taste' stops along the way. This year, Tua and Pip brushed off the threat of thundershowers, donned their packs and headed into town for the event.

Tua displays the scavenger hunt placard..... they found most of the items but lost the card in the process.

In a lit clearing, Pip presses ahead, while Tua stays out of the shadow.


Along the way, the girls pick out clues as to what's ahead.






Pippa points out an inconsistancy in the signage.

birthday / travel

Today was Bug's birthday. In celebration, we took a road trip to Waterbury and then to Montpelier. The girls tried their hand at sampling the latest in Ben and Jerry;s technology- a flavor called Chocowlate Chip.

They then posed for a photo op outside the facility.
