Starting the Summer in Vermont

We kicked off the summer season with a picturesque visit to Northern Vermont, where family and stunning landscapes awaited us. Our first day included a full afternoon with the Kennedy family and an early Memorial Day cookout. There was lots of great food, playing with the youngest cousins, and spending time with David’s grandma.

The next day, we started out early for breakfast in Stowe, driving through the infamous Smuggler’s Notch mountain pass. It’s a breathtaking route full of switchbacks and blind hairpin turns. Truly not for the faint of heart, I was very happy to not have been in the driver’s seat. Later, we had lunch at the renowned Trapp Family Lodge, where we indulged in a delightful Austria lunch amidst the mountain views. If you like ‘The Sound of Music,’ this definitely should be on your list. After they escaped Europe, the family settled in Vermont and created a little slice of Europe in the Green Mountains. The rich history and warm hospitality of the lodge made the experience even more memorable.

Amidst our adventures, I found joy in wearing the Lolly Dress in Morning Blue from LAKE Pajamas. The soft and breathable fabric kept me cool and comfortable throughout the day, allowing me to fully enjoy the wonders of Vermont’s landscapes while feeling effortlessly stylish. The dress’s blue hue perfectly complemented the serene surroundings, reflecting the tranquility and serenity of the moment.

As we bid farewell to Vermont, we couldn’t help but feel grateful for the cherished moments shared with loved ones and the unforgettable experiences that marked the beginning of our summer journey. The beauty of Vermont’s scenery and the warmth of family made it a truly remarkable start to the season.
