After hiking up & camping on top pico peak in VT Jon & I ventured to Woodstock, VT. This charming town has become one of my favorites in Vermont, I love the quaintness of it. Although it was an overcast day we both had a lovely time exploring, we parked the car & proceeded to walk all over stopping at many places along the way.
i love these kind of old, historic buildings...the town library is on the right
cute shops
a community picnic/relax area along the Ottauquechee River, which runs through the town
lovely flower boxes
Ottauquechee River & another view of the picnic area
Collective an artisan owned & cooperatively run gallery
we arrived in town hungry from the hike down the mountain & in search of a good place to eat breakfast so i did a quick search on yelp & discovered Mon Vert Cafe which has excellent reviews so we headed there & i am very glad be did. above is the outside eating area
they are members of the local first alliance, which we loved
local vermont specialty products
pastries :) we got one on the cinnamon scones on the left, it was delicious
jon & i in the distance
i loved how they decorated inside
my chi tea latte with local milk
the table we sat at, i loved all the natural lighting
my breakfast: toasted local whole wheat bread with local egg whites, local cheddar cheese, red onion, avocado, salt & pepper....soooo good, i wish i had another one right now
love seeing vines growing like this
the trolly that runs through town
so many beautiful homes
history
how cool is this building over the river
so many shops i wish i could buy so many things in
locally made woodwork
beautiful chess set
so many old homes scattered throughout the town & so much history
one of vermont's wooded bridges
Woodstock is home to Vermont's only National Historic Park - Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller
we didn't do any hiking because of the looming weather forecast, but i'd love to go back & explore the trails
We did explore the grounds of the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller Mansion though & with all the flowers in full bloom it was lovely
this pool & expansive green house...swoon
an original paul revere bell
Ottauquechee River & rolling green mountains...I never tire of the views Vermont has to offer

I definitely recommend going to Woodstock if you are ever in Vermont, you won't regret it!
& if you have any further questions definitely ask :)
