Even though we tried to strip it down to the basics, a day that encompasses all the iconic activities Vermont has to offer would still require meticulous planning and lots of time. OK, so it’s probably impossible, but let’s just imagine what we would do on the most Vermont Day ever…
- Catch the sunrise over the mountains.
Flickr/Kevin Jarrett Rise and shine! A Vermont sunrise is a great way to start the day.
- Put on your plaid flannel shirt.
Flickr/Kelly Put the flannel on over another shirt. Vermont weather often calls for layering.
- Start your day with a piping hot cup of Speeder & Earl’s coffee.
Flickr/Dan Cederholm This rocket fuel is just what you need to make it through the most Vermont day ever.
- Head to the back yard to the chicken coop for some fresh eggs.
Flickr/David Goehring Don’t forget to greet all the chickens by name!
- Listen to Vermont Public Radio while you eat breakfast.
Flickr/Alan Levine Occasionally switching to WCAX for weather.
- Take the dog out for a walk.
Flickr/benjgibbs Don’t forget the poop bags!
- Take a dip in your local swimming hole.
Flickr/dvs No, it won’t be too cold. Vermonters can handle cold.
- Hit the local farmer’s market.
Flickr/Matthew H Check out what’s fresh and new.
- Take a quick hike along the Long Trail.
Flickr/Scott McCracken No, not the whole thing. But you get bonus points if you go over a suspended bridge!
- Enjoy a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.
Flickr/benjerry.fr Hurray! This perfect Vermont day just happened to fall on “Free Cone Day!”
- It also falls on Town Meeting Day.
Flickr/Jared and Corin Don’t forget to vote.
- Get your kayak and head to Lake Champlain.
Flickr/Kaitlin Time for a quick paddle.
- And a bike ride, too…
Flickr/Brent Soderberg
- Check out a festival.
Flickr/Jim Something The hot air balloon festivals can be seen from miles away, and music festivals heard.
- Pitch your tent.
Flickr/Jasperdo Or set up in a lean-to… or both.
- Time to wind down the day.
Flickr/Paul Moody Find a spot to watch the sun set over the mountains.
- Stargaze.
Flickr/Nicholas Erwin There is nothing like camping out under the stars.
- Get your campfire going.
Flickr/Tony Webster Vermonters love a good campfire.
- End the day with a perfect s’more.
Flickr/KK Perfection.
