Summer trip Day Eleven, Waterbury and the Bolton Potholes

We packed up and said goodbye to our home in the NEK.

Spent a quiet moment along the Barton River, in the back yard.

We are always impressed by Montpelier. Everything is so clean and postcard perfect. They were setting up for a festival. Kat was pleased that they had signage noting the event was smoke free. She had been annoyed by all the smokers on the streets of Montreal.

A quick dagger battle at the Capitol before we continued on to Waterbuy and grabbed lunch at Prohibition Pig

They really are blessed with amazing craft beers in VT.  

With a solid BBQ brisket lunch down, it was time to explore the Bolton Potholes.

The daughter explored the Joiner Brook upstream by herself.

People with less fear of heights than myself make me nervous. It's only a sharp 25 ft drop from there... place that foot carefully.

We fed the kid at the hotel, we had reservations at Hen of the Wood.

Heady Topper beer has quite a reputation. Often hailed as the best beer in the world. I'm here to tell you, it's definitely worth seeking out.

Hen of the Wood lived up to my expectations. The food, service and setting were perfect. The perfect ending to our summer in VT trip of 2015.
