We had a lovely day today! We drove up to Burlington and went to the ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center. We had lots of fun looking at the exhibits. They have a large water display in the foyer, and Maggie leaned into it and got soaked. This is why she's in long-sleeve shirt / shirt instead of her cute dress :-)
After lunch, we went to Bove's Cave (http://boves.com/restaurant). 4 years ago, it was featured on Bobby Flay Throwdown. Bobby's lasagna was pitted against Bove's lasagna, and the Bove's lasagna won the throw down. I've been wanting to try the lasagna ever since I saw that episode. We tried to visit Bove's during our last trip to Vermont. We showed up on our last day (a Monday) and they were closed on Mondays! Today was much more successful. And, no offense to my momma, that was the best lasagna I have ever had. Perhaps it's the hype, but it definitely lived up to the hype!
After, we drove through a neighborhood Grammy is looking to buy a townhouse in once her house sells. We drove past a place Grampa/Grammy/Mike lived in, and then we drove past the first house Kevin lived in. Finally, we stopped at the 1850's house Kevin and his family lived in. When we last visited, 4 years ago, the old flower shop was a cafe and the house was empty. Now, it's a restaurant and bistro/cafe (http://carolinesvt.com/). We were able to check out the restaurant. Kevin and his mom told me about the layout prior to this renovation. I had a hard time seeing it. I'll have to ask to see if they have pictures from when they lived there.
The coffee shop was quite lovely (different from the last time we were there). They have a wine bar inside and the renovation is lovely. Judy says they really pack people in for brunch on the weekend.
