The Capital, Ben and Jerrys, Frolf and Pats Family
... We stayed at his house and he showed us around town. He even came out the local bar with us. Since Montpelier is so small there really is no security around the capital. One day while Pat was at the graduation ceremony, Dave ...
Smallest of the crowd
... ! May 1991. I had a grand time in Quebec City (will go back there) and then drove south back into the states and into the little village of Montpelier, smallest of all the capital cities. The town is compact, and such a pretty spot. I didn't go to ...
The drive home :(
... ; Sorry if some of them are blurry - Dominik thought this was too weird and wouldn't stop for some of them. Montpelier's capitol is supposed to be the prettiest in the US, especially with the fall colours. I say it is ...
Creaky Seats & Frozen Treats
I began my rainy day by learning a little about the foundations of Vermont at their Historical Society's Museum. After giving the museum a look around and learning a few things about Vermonters, I headed over to the capitol next door. I made my way ...
A Capitol, maple syrup and ice cream!
Our day started out with a tour of the Vermont State Capitol. It still in use and like others we have visited, it is the third one to be built because of previous fires. The current one was completed in 1859. It is small, as expected, ...
Visting the Capitol of Vermont
I drove 3 1/2 hours from Sturbridge for next training here in Montpelier, the Capitol of Vermont (The smallest capitol in the US). They really do take care of the roads up here and although it drove me crazy that the windshield kept freezing unless ...
No more expectations
Sometimes I swear the ground knows what I'm thinking, and does the exact opposite of what I want it to do. Yes I realize this sounds crazy, but we just got done with the unit that I was really excited about digging because it's kitty corner ...
Friends & Art Sculpture
There was a contest here for sculpture made from discarded bicycles. Here are a few to look and some more of Montpelier. You can tell I love it ...
The Fall Colours

Day 25 - Trip ends in Montpelier, Vermont
We made our way from Albany to Montpelier today, and we are now back in our new home. It's been exactly a month since our last days at work, and although the trip wasn't exactly what we planned, everything worked out for the best. We get to live in ...
Lights out !!
... we spent relaxing were a welcome respite from the road. I don't think I need to describe how small Montpelier Idaho is because the likelihood of your having heard of it is, I'm sure, on an even par with ours....ZERO likelihood. ...
First Day
... was mostly a "slab ride" on the interstate 380 miles. I left I-15 at Bountiful and had a pleasant run to Logan and on to Montpelier, ID for the night. It was cold and drizzle but it gave me a chance to check out the gear and see how warm ...
I'd Like to stay Here a While
... the ground. Whew. Glad I took out an extended breakage warranty. I even had the camera strap around my wrist. I'm looking forward to enjoying Montpelier all day and evening tomorrow with my good friend Kate and her hubby, Roger. ...
Holding
Its 10pm here and the bugs are getting ridiculous with the light from the laptop. I'll post more about this day later. Besides, I need to grab some sleep so I'm on time for Angela's Wedding festivities!! Dad just picked-up Erin, Anthony and Nate-dog ...
Stuck in the lab
Another successful and fun weekend has ended here in VA again. Last week was miserably hot all week so it was nice to have a nice relaxing weekend. Friday night we went to downtown Charlottesville, to the "mall". I kept thinking shopping, but it's like ...
Back in the U.S. by Lisa
... and the usual stresses that come with being in a car with your spouse for several hours in any given day. However, we're in Montpelier, VT at the moment and greatly enjoying the perfect day (the A/C in the motel is lovely, too). We did laundry this ...
Okay, I take it back
I felt like I was complaining quite a bit yesterday about working in the lab, and I take it back. Today was a good day. I had a fun task today: flotation. We take soil samples in the field, which get water screened (sprayed so all the soil is off the ...
Beautiful town, Beautiful People
... me around town, wined and dined me and hiked my legs off (and Charlie's) in the wooded park up the hill from Main Street. Montpelier is a dog friendly town and Charlie got to lick up fallen crumbs as we ate lunch at the Skinny Pancake - a crepe place ...
Vermont the beautiful
I must apologize to those of you who have looked at this, when i got back and school started i was so behind with pictures and stories that i was unable to juggle it with school. Now nearly a year after the trip happened, i'm finishing. In ...
Just give me an elephant ear!
So, one of my favorite summer snacks, the elephant ear, seems to be totally unknown down here. I just don't see how this is possible, but they think it's crazy that they are better than their precious funnel cakes....just strange. I did get a ...
Stowe - Montpelier
... délice !! C'était mérité, non ?? Et puis la journée n'était pas terminée. Pour le reste de l'après-midi, c'est à Montpelier que je l'ai passée. C'est la capitale du Vermont, une toute petite ville très agréable. J'ai eu le temps juste ...

Sono Stanco
In case you're wondering, which I'm sure you are, what "Sono Stanco" means, it's "I'm tired" in Italian. First of all, that's true: went to bed too late last night and it was disgustingly hot and humid today. Second, I finally learned after having it two ...
Day 15: Montpelier, VT (Comfort Inn)

Salt Lake City and Idaho
Last night was a bit restless but I woke up eager and ready to go. By 8.00am, we were on the road to Salt Lake City. On the itinerary today was a spare day so we decided to take advantage of this and move the schedule forwards. After a couple of ...
