Exploring Montpelier …
Posted by Rick - 06/09/05 at 10:09:24 amSince arriving in Montpelier a week ago, we have been wicked busy. Much of that can be expected when moving to a new state; however, in addition to doing the usual moving tasks—dealing with movers, banks, and post offices—we have been spending a great deal of time exploring our new city and what it offers. We have sampled the food at Sarducci’s, Julio’s, Main Street Grill, The Diner, La Brioche, McGillicuddy’s Irish Pub, Positive Pi2, Nini’s Wraps, Ben & Jerry’s (natch), and the deli at Hunger Mountain Coop. We have also made a few meals with the delicious ingredients we found at the farmer’s market, including yummy sweet tomatoes from Cate Farm. We have taken numerous walks along Montpelier’s back streets, admiring the beautiful (and huge!) Victorian homes. Yesterday morning we took the dogs for a short hike in Hubbard Park. This is a beautiful city with lots to offer, most of which we haven’t even begun to discover. The people are warm and welcoming. We are looking forward to more exploring.
Oh, and our fridge is stocked with Magic Hat’s Fat Angel!

Leaves are just barely starting to change. Still unseasonably hot (not that has anything to do with the leaves). VT is beautiful!

Glad to hear the settling in is going well. Take lots of pictures of the New England foliage for me — I miss it up there!

Excellent blog! Have just come across via your comment post on 802 Online. We’re blog neighbors so-to-speak.
As I find your blog particularly interesting anyway and, especially since you are now VT-based bloggers, I will be adding your blog to my feed reader so I can more easily keep up with your explorations of our fair city and area, etc.
Welcome to Montpelier Rick, Sarah, Haley & Mick! Enjoy!

By the way, speaking of food [i.e., as you have been doing within your recent post(s)], have you tried Susan’s Kitchen yet Rick?
If you have not already tries it out yourselves, it is an excellent, nourishing feed, especially for people on the go. Susan is a tremendous cook too. If you order from her, tell her Morgan Brown says Hi!
