I had totally forgotten that we had eaten here before. Just goes to show you what lack of sleep can do to you. We headed to Piecasso for dinner with my parents. While the restaurant has been open since 2000, it has been in this new location since 2006. We start out with the garlic […]

I’ll admit that I’m not much of a coffee drinker – that is, I don’t know much about it, except for what I like and what I don’t like. I hadn’t heard of Dean’s Beans before, but they are a great small company located out in Orange, MA. It was founded by Dean Cycon over […]

Solstice is the main restaurant in Stowe Mountain Lodge. Breakfast is served from 7-11. Sunday morning, while the guys play golf, we go out to breakfast. They have coffee in the bar area outside the restaurant (see picture above), but they have run out and people are starting to get antsy. I had made a […]

First full day in Vermont we spend the morning at the spa and then decide to go up to the Cliff House for lunch. You have to pay to get up the mountain via the gondola. The cost is $25 per person, round trip, but if you are a hotel guest and you put the […]

The first night we are in VT we decide to go out for a casual bite – pizza at Pie in the Sky. This place is always jamming! We are lucky to not have to wait for a table and order up two pizzas. The waitress is the same as we had the last time […]

We decided to take a trip up to Stowe. It was just after the blizzard like weather here, so it took us an hour just to get out of Boston and onto the highway. The ride wasn’t great, this is what our car looked like after being two hours on the road, covered in an […]
