Hello!

It is officially December! The last month of the year; the last month of 2025. I can't believe we've made it to the end of the year. But we've made it and I'm happy to see what the new year brings!

This year was filled with a lot of ups and downs. I was thankful to travel or take trips this year but I cannot wait to plan more for 2026. I have a list of trips I'd like to take and that are already in the works. You'll soon see come the new year.

But I will share some of my trip to Vermont, the highlights, and pictures! As well as the FREEBIE for the month of November. Because of the holidays and my busy schedule, I won't be able to make another freebie or put out a newsletter for December.

Trip to Vermont: Late Fall Travel with my Friends!

If you've been around for a while, you'd know that back in October 2021, I took a road trip through New England. The last state on my list to explore was Vermont. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to cut my time in Vermont short. But I always said I'd return to finish what I started.

Four years later, I decided to do a little birthday trip to Vermont. This time, I'd invite my friends but still keep to that road trip vibe and take mini day trips to other parts of the state.

Our home base was at our resort in Brownsville, VT. This is a beautiful little resort in the mountains and the drive to this resort was stunning!

I knew in early November, the fall foliage would probably be gone. I was surprised to see a few spots here and there that had some fall foliage 🍁🍂. For the most part, most of the trees were dead and it was very cold!

That didn't stop us though! We bundled up as best as we could and made our way to different places everyday. It was go, go, go the whole time!

We visited Stowe, Woodstock, Burlington, even took a day trip to Salem, MA, took a mini hike to see a gorge, and explored some local farms that made fresh maple syrup. We went to the Ben & Jerry's Factory to do a tour, took in the views of the small towns of Vermont, and enjoyed some time in nature! There was a lot, so stay tuned for more posts and pictures on what we got up to!

I'll tell you what, Vermont is a beautiful state! My friends and I agreed that we'd definitely need to return another time (preferably during the warmer months) to explore some more! That way, we can see some more foliage, do more hikes (lots of trails were closed for the season), and maybe even take a day trip to Canada (Burlington is near the boarder with Canada).
