Ahh..
I love Vermont. It's probably the only state--other than Alaska where the majority of the population consists of grizzly bears--where you can go somewhere and know 85% of the people there. We have our little "hangout" which happens to be Al's. You know those movies and t.v. shows where there's always a little hangout, usually a diner, where everyone would be like "Hey Bob!" when you walk in? Well, Al's is pretty much like that! Vermont would be perfect if only we had some nice weather once in a while; rather than this dull rainy season.
Vermont is known for cows and farms and almost every thing related to agriculture. So, naturally, the world's BEST ice cream factory originated in Vermont. One of the greatest things about Ben & Jerry's (and probably in the world) is a Vermonster, a 20-scoop, multi-ingredient sundae bucket that should be enough for a week (but normal people eat it in a day).
