We vacationed in Burlington, VT last year...I second what Alan says--great town. Headquarters for Ben & Jerry's and Green Mountain Coffee Roaster, river townand a lot more--especially the museum there. Can't remember the museum's name but we thought ti was small and gave it a couple hours on our last day there. Turns out it was owned by a family which was as wealthy as the Vanderbilts and the museum grounds are large with a round barn, a covered bridge, models of working farm stations, a great museum and, if memory serves, a building devoted to women's fashion through the years. Really a neat place to visit. We stayed in a great old hotel (can't remember name) for surprisingly little dollars (priceline!) which was a half a mile away from an outlet mall.
Before I twist this thread to what conference we'll be in next year, why don't we play more games in southern California?
