Memorial Day Weekend in Vermont

We were up in Vermont for the long weekend, which was very pleasant weatherwise -- cool and sunny most of the time. We fired up the grill and made steaks, ribs, and burgers over the various nights. It was sunny enough to use the Corvette the whole time we were up there so after getting an inspection sticker we went up to Springfield to do some errands and found an old time soft serve ice cream place. One day we went into Grafton and picked up some local common crackers, and stopped at the lonely real estate agent's office to get their views on the market. There are a lot of houses on the market up there, with very few sales. Not much different from the national perspective, although prices in Grafton (and Vermont in general) never got as wild as they did in the sunnier states. On the night we arrived, we went down into the village where one place is doing BYOB and serving crepes. The crepes were kind of weak, but it was still fun enough to try.
