Summer vacation part VI Rover does the “Church Street Experience” in Burlington, VT

Listed in- The 1000 Places To See In The United States And Canada Before You Die- Burlington, Vermont and specifically “The Church Street Market” is a wonderful place to take a summer stroll. In addition to the regular “Church Street Experience” an art exhibit  created as a fundraiser to support a local hunger project – The Cows Come Home To Burlington -was on exhibit as well. It was a warm day and we concluded our stroll with a jump in the fountain. Come stroll with us, have some Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, admire the cows, and splash in the fountain with us. It was a wonderful walk.

Leaving ECHO and hiking up the very STEEP hill to Church Street. Clint and I took turns pushing the stroller- Caelun clearly got the better end of this deal.

There are no cars on Church Street- it is strictly pedestrian. So many wonderful shops and places to eat.

At the end the fountain. I am not sure this is what the architects intended but it worked for us. Rover is in my pocket enjoying the ride.
