    9 “Must Dos” When Visiting Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom with Kids and Family

    June 23, 2012 /

    I’m often asked what cool things are there to do in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom in the Summer with children, beyond Mountain Biking or the typical tourist attractions or spots?  Specifically, what are the “Must Dos” if I’m visiting the NEK for just a weekend and want to really take in NEK life?   Generally speaking, the weekend a family is visiting the NEK can make a big impact on that must do list.  For example, if a family is visiting mid-July, attending Lyndonville’s Annual Stars and Stripes parade is a must, if only to catch a glimpse of the Bread & Puppet Theater.  However, if a family simply wants a…

    It’s Strawberry Season in the Kingdom

    June 22, 2012 /

    Although from Florida, the “Winter Strawberry Capital of the World,” I never picked my own strawberries growing up. This is strange because 1. I love strawberries and 2. fresh strawberries are so much better than grocery store berries. Since I’ve been in Vermont my husband and I have intended each summer to pick our own but other things came up and we always missed the season. Not this year. Last night a girlfriend told me that the strawberries were ready at Peak View Berry Farm in Brownington (754-6319 or 323-9292); in fact, she had already picked a flat of delicious berries on Wednesday and insisted we needed to waste no…

    Vermont History Expo 2012: Vermont in the Civil War

    June 13, 2012 /

    This weekend my husband and I are ridiculously excited to take our daughter to her first Vermont History Expo (not that she will remember it, but we will take lots of pictures) at the Tunbridge Fairgrounds. In addition to being an awesome high school history teacher, my husband is also a Civil War re-enactor with the Hemlocks. (Have I mentioned that we met at an American Revolution course for teachers in Virginia? We also got married at the Old Stone House complete with a contra dance – we are quite the history nerds!) Anyway, the Hemlocks are doing an encampment this weekend at the Expo complete with musket loading and…
