July 4th long weekend

It was a great long weekend with full of fresh air! It's definitely a lot fresher than NYC :)

We had a lot of yummy food! We dined mostly at the resort restaurants (which are famous in the town) that specializes in New English cuisine with local VT flavors and ingredients - starch, nuts, herbs, berries, cream, butter and syrups in almost all dishes.  They emphasize a lot on homemade fresh ingredients, and to bring out the most of the natural juice and flavors from the fish/seafood/poultry. Most of our plates were heavily integrated with VT cheddar cheese, homemade butter, jam, maple syrups, and potatoes.  I guess for a hilly place with chilly winter, these are very hearty food.

In terms of activities, it was a bit lacking with a toddler; but I guess that's the expectation for a resort that is more catered to adults (skiers and business travelers) and older children. We weren't able to hike, canoe, fish, observe glass making...

So back to my workout, with a pool in the resort, I was able to add some swimming to my daily exercises!

Saturday - Bike 7 miles; High Intensity exercises 30 mins
Sunday - Swim 0.5 miles (800m); run 1 mile
Monday - Swim 1.1 miles (1.78K)
Tuesday - Rest
Wednesday - Run 1.5 miles; Bike 2 miles; Elliptical 3 miles; High Intensity exercises 15 mins
Delicious bread plate for the table

Homemade fettucine (with lots of shaved VT cheese)
