Vermont Skiing Weekend | The Woodstock Inn

Last weekend nosotros took off for the mountains. Our goal : Woodstock, Vermont, simply ii hours due north of Concord, Ma. Our timing couldn't bring been ameliorate - the entire New England expanse had a fresh blanket of snow. Snow, Snow, Snow, Snoowww... Name that movie!

We stayed at the gracious Woodstock Inn correct inward the lilliputian village. It is the quentessential New England Inn - old, charming, grand, peaceful as well as really hospitable. Our weekend included cozy dinners past times the fire, a trip to the spa for me - I had a Hot Chocolate Body wrap, strolling some the town boutique shopping, a see to a farm as well as skiing for Mike.

The sentiment exterior of our room window looking at the interior courtyard. I started my twenty-four hours alongside a handling at the spa...

This was the lounging expanse inward the spa - woods burning fire, a jacuzzi correct outside. Three hours of relaxing. It was heaven.

After my treatment, nosotros headed out for the day. The town of Woodstock is as well as therefore lovely.

Emma as well as I drove Mike over to the local mount as well as therefore he could produce some skiing inward the afternoon.

This was our tertiary trip to Vermont since we've moved here. Emma's first. On the outside, at least. Here is a link to our other Vermont adventures.

She loved Vermont. She was as well as therefore peaceful inward the auto every bit she looked out of the window at the mountains.

Some of the views along the way.

Yes, that is a horse-drawn sleigh. Idyllic. Did you lot know Mike as well as I got engaged on a black fourth dimension horse-drawn sleigh ride inward Aspen? I know.

The ski club was really one-time school. It was awesome. I am as well as therefore mad at myself that I didn't instruct a photograph of the actual ski lifts - they were circa 1965 as well as painted a robin's egg blue.

I did, however, induce produce to instruct a photograph of the amazing sandwich I munched on inward the club patch Mike was skiing. It was called "The Corduroy" - turkey, bacon, brie as well as dried cranberries. Grilled. So good.

We decided to become dorsum to consider the sleigh ride inward action. Looks similar these ii had made a see to the Vermont Flannel Co. inward downtown Woodstock. Classic. Classically funny.

Emma was thrilled to encounter some of the horses.

And the GIANT ox.

The dairy barn.

This is Billings.

Just 1 twenty-four hours older than Emma, Billings has almost 150 pounds on her.

Every barn needs a cat. We used to bring 8. Then those cats had 8...

Billings was a kisser.

After the farm nosotros headed dorsum into town.

I was as well as therefore glad to consider that the town's covered span was soundless sporting its Christmas wreath. Guess who else was soundless wearing its Christmas gear?

Yes, my auto soundless had its Christmas wreath on. Don't worry, this was truly a long fourth dimension ago. Like a week-and-a-half ago.

Back to the Inn for a lilliputian Apres Ski lavatory as well as cookies.

Emma got dressed for dinner patch I explored the hotel alongside my camera.

This was the principal Hearth Room - really cozy as well as grand.

Look how long the firewood is - they went through this pile of woods every brace of hours to instruct out on it roaring as well as the room prissy as well as toasty.
