I’ve been planning a trip to Vermont for two years and thought I knew what I wanted to do but after buying Tara’s book I added some really fun ideas- Ben & Jerry’s graveyard for discontinued ice cream? Or Champ, the American version of Loch Ness? This guide is packed full of ideas of things to do and I love how it’s broken down and organized. I know this book is going to help me continue to plan now and I’ll refer back to it during my road trip.
