Burlington, Vermont is a great town full of college kids and lots to do. We stayed for three nights right in downtown at The Burlington Community Dock where we picked up our first Fed-Ex shipment of mail from my sister, Barbara. After going through our mail, we explored the town visiting the very first Ben & Jerry's, and the Champlain Aquarium and Science Center where we arrived right in time to see them feed live crickets to their exotic frogs. The next day, we went to The Shelburne Museum which is kind of like Sturbridge Village but with an emphasis on art and collections. It sprawls over 45 acres and has all kinds of old buildings brought there from all over New England - there's even the Ticonderoga, a walking beam, steam-powered, side paddle wheeler.

We took the bus to and from Shelburne, an interesting experience hanging out with the common man, that reminded us of how lucky and privileged we are.
