We decided that since this may be our last fourth of July in the US (at least for the next few years), it would be fun to have a small town fourth of July. Since we were driving down from Montreal on the 4th, we decided to stop in Warren, Vermont. It worked out nicely because we got to spend some time doing fun New England things, like go to a cider mill and go to the Ben and Jerry's ice cream factory. Plus, you can light your own fireworks in Vermont but not Massachussetts. (Of course, as usual, we didn't plan ahead at all and didn't have sparklers of our own...luckily a wedding was going on and they gave sparklers as a wedding favor and they nicely shared with us!)
The 4th of July part was held at a ski resort, Sugarbush, and they had a band, a barbecue and fireworks show. The show was actually pretty good...and it was nice because it was a smaller celebration so none of the hassles of crowded Boston. Matt and I brought our own picnic from a nearby deli and it was a lot of fun to watch all of the wedding guests dancing and having fun.
New England is stunning in the summer, when the weather is nice. I really do like it here...it is so easy to forget the misery of winter when the weather is so nice. I was even thinking we should stay in Boston longer...but I have to remember how painful and depressing the winter is for me...Matt and I both stuggle with the winters here.
