If you have time, take a scenic drive to Weston and pop in at the Vermont Country Store. Charmingly nostalgic and a fun place to poke around.... you'll inevitably relive some of your favorite childhood moments with their plethora of throwback items from penny candy to toys that you thought only existed in your memory! There's also a restaurant on site, though it's always been so packed when we've visited that we've never been able to try it! Though the place is quite touristy, it's worth braving the throngs at least once!

This new tap room/brewery is fast becoming known for their amazing brews and their unique space, loaded with eclectic flair and family friendly ambiance. Situated in lovely downtown Brandon, the Neshobe River flows, literally, right beneath the brewery and the views from their windows are delightful. But it's the beer that's captivating tastebuds all across the state. We love this place so much, in fact, that we're giving one token per booking good for a pour in their taproom, compliments of Wayward Goose Farm. Why are we so excited about RCA co.? Well, our son Pete and our son in law Andy are 2 of the 3 owners/brewers!

Everything Else
If you have the time, we recommend the 2 hour drive up route 22A along Lake Champlain to explore Burlington. Stop in at 3 Squares Cafe in Vergennes because their menu is the best! Then enjoy the breathtaking views of Vermont's Green Mountains to the east and the Adirondack Mountains across the lake to the west. Once you get to Burlington, among other things, stop in at the Farmhouse Restaurant for what will be a fantastic meal!
