It’s no secret that I LOVE Vermont.
The last time I went to visit the Green Mountain state was in April for my mom’s birthday. This time around, I went with the manfriend to celebrate our one month!
You may think that’s a bit crazy. But truth be told, we’ve been really good friends for over a year and met at our former job. Just wasn’t the right time and now everything is just as perfect as it can be and I am happy. For this WIAW, I am going to show you some of our eats from our trip and beyond, enjoy!
Before I get into the eats, I have to share with you the beautiful herbs and tomatoes that the manfriend’s dad gathered from their garden.
Yes, I met the parents and I was nervous. It was the first time I really had met any manfriend’s parents, formally. But he said they loved me, so I think I am in the clear, phew!
Back to the goods; I started out my morning with some Green Mountain coffee, obviously.
Some sliced up frozen strawberries with organic peanut butter mixed with a bit of vanilla Myofusion for breakfast.
Now most of y’all know I’m a snacker; I packed some goodies for our trip. A few thinkThin and Quest bars, trail mix, fruit, Greek yogurt, pretzels and of course some H2-OH!
Our first adventure when we got to Burlington was American Flatbread. We had a cheese and herb, buffalo chicken and Vermont maple sausage flatbread. This is my absolute favorite restaurant ever!
After dinner, we took a stroll along Lake Champlain.
After the lake, we went to bed we were exhausted from a long trip.
We woke up the next day to a delicious brunch at Henry’s diner.
Also stopped at the Apple Mountain store on Church Street for some local trinkets.
Visited the alma matar, University of Vermont.
Our last stop? A bit of dessert iced wine from Shelburne Vineyard.
Although Burlington was amazing, it’s nice to just sit back and relax at home.
Only three more days til the AAAI/ISMA conference!
To enjoy the simple things in life.
Whether it be a little peach picking at Brooksby Farm…
Or just enjoying my surroundings.
Maybe getting back to the swing of things at the gym?
Or maybe it’s just finding that perfect balance in life?
We are almost FOUR weeks post surgery in a few days. Times flies doesn’t it? I have been getting back into being more active with some light-moderate cardio a bit of weight lifting (10-12lb dumbbells max). It’s going to take some time til I can use those 25lbs again for my chest presses. But if I was there once, I can do it again. Love the process!
