RAINY DAYS
Of course we all want wonderful weather all the time, but that doesn't mean that a rainy day doesn't have a lot to offer. There's no better excuse for going to see a movie in the middle of the day, hanging out at one of the many Vermont Breweries, or spending the whole day shopping. There's a wealth of options and we have it all right here!
