Burlington, Vt

Well, we have decided that we will gain 10 lbs staying here. I love this place. It is a college town with plenty to do. We ate at the brewery for lunch and then later that evening we were going to try the flatbread restaurant, but so was everyone else. We opted to go to the city market and tried some of their exotic healthy food. We walked around Church street which had cafes, stores and the usual in most college towns. 

First we went to a place called "Skinny Pancakes" for breakfast. We split a crepe with spinach, vermont cheddar cheese and sweet red peppers. It was good and interesting. After breakfast we rented a car for the weekend and drove to northern Vermont by making  a loop through Grand Isle, Vt.  Stopped by Costco to stock up and also visited West Marine to replace the fender we lost yesterday for the boat. Came back to boat and walked to flatbread to try it again. Luckily it was 2:30pm and we walked right in. It was fabulous pizzas cooked on wood burning stove and on flatbreads. We had the special today on half of it, which was vermont raised rabbit, fresh asparagus and herbs. The other side was vermont maple sausage, cheese and fresh herbs. It was DELICIOUS! Went to blockbuster and rented some of the latest movies and chilling out for the evening.
