At the very center of the ice cream world is the Ben & Jerry's Factory, in Waterbury, Vermont. And yes, we stopped at this holy grail for ice cream lovers, where we took the tour, and of course, were forced to sample some of the ice cream!
It's no secret that, over the years, my Ben & Jerry's habit has probably contributed significantly to the success of this world wide operation. During the 4 summers we spent in Skagway, Alaska, even the small grocery store would stock Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream. Well, yesterday, even though they weren't making ice cream, we learned how it's made, and a little about how the companies founders, got Ben & Jerry's started. On the way out, I picked up a T shirt that proclaimed on the front, that I had taken the official Ben & Jerry's Factory Tour. As the shirt says.............Peace, Love & Ice Cream!
Our drive yesterday was absolutely magnificent, as we crossed from New York to Vermont, then into New Hampshire. We had a reservation at a Passport America RV park, but when we arrived, it was dense forest, and not very Big Rig friendly. The RV sites were not big enough, and we would have not been able to hit the satellite through the trees. We moved down the road to a Wal Mart in Littleton, N.H., and made a reservation, starting tonight at another local RV Park.
