Life Rocks when your living room rolls
For our third week of RV living we went to the Northeast Kingdom. We stayed in a cute campground in Westfield about 5 minutes south of Jay Peak. Saturday, once we were all set back up from our move sitting in our chairs looking out at our new surrounding, we thought how quiet it was and it may be a long week. That it wasn’t. It was a wonderful week. Even though it rained some almost every day and we had to spend a few days inside the camper, we made sure to get outside any chance we could got. Sunday was a day that it rained all day. We spent most of the day playing games and putting a puzzle together. Monday afternoon/evening the weather was nice so we jumped on the Super 73's and went to check out Big Falls in Troy. Because of all the recent rain the falls where roaring. I brought the camera with us so I could take time to practice getting some shots of the water. Chris and I sat and enjoyed a drink before heading back to the campground. (The video below had me dying 🤣). Wednesday evening was another nice night so again we hopped on the Super 73's and went down to have dinner at Cajun's Snack Bar. The temperature this day was the first time it wasn’t super humid. I actually was freezing on the ride home. The funniest part was riding by a herd of cows so I mooed at them and I hear one moo back. Chris, who is right behind me, honks his horn which sends all the cows 🐄 running from the fence. I wish I could have seen that. Thursdays weather was the best of the week. We had no rain in the forecast for the whole day. I decided to go and practice with the camera again around the campground (I have a lot to learn). Once Chris was done work for the day we packed up a cooler with some sandwiches, grapes and chips for dinner, and poured a few cocktails to enjoy. We put our bathing suits on and headed to Lake Eden to relax on the water paddle boarding. Once we got there we pumped them up, got the paddles, cooler and headed to the water. We found a table for our things that we dropped off, made a drink, and out we went into the water. It was such a beautiful night. We paddled out a bit then sat and relaxed on the boards. After a while we went in to eat our dinner. It was still early so we cleaned up our meal, poured another drink and off we went back out on the boards. The sun was starting to set so we paddled back to shore. These simple evenings turn out to be some of my favorite times of the week. Friday was another on and off rain day. During lunch we took a break to run up the road to this chocolate makers place that we saw on google maps. It took us a minute to find her house. She was so surprised when we told her we were there to purchase some chocolate. We chatted with her for a bit and she brought us what she had available for purchase. She gave us a Mud Season to have for free. It was a dark and white chocolate mix. We then purchased a Maple Walnut and Plain chocolate pack. Each were delicious. All are made with bittersweet chocolate, 72% cacao, Vermont creamery butter, local Vermont maple syrup and local rum for flavoring. Finding these small local business owners are the best. Later that evening Chris needed to hit the liquor store so we ran to Jay’s General and liquor store. There was a small food truck in the back so we decided it was a good night to grab dinner while out. I am so glad we did. We shared a Cuban with fries and both were made perfectly. We may have got stuck in a torrential downpour with thunder and lightning but the food was well worth it. Saturday we packed up and headed south to try our first night at boon docking.
