Adventures in Quechee

We had brunch at the Farmer's Diner in Quechee with Laura, Andy and Isaac today. It's a diner that buys as many of the ingredients locally as possible. So, they use things like Cabot dairy products, local eggs, maple syrup and even meat. In the summer, almost all their produce is from area farms. In the winter, they do buy some from further distances, because it's basically just squash and that kind of stuff. Sadie and Isaac both had the kid's pancake and each of them ate almost the whole thing.

After we ate, we walked around and visited the Cabot store and the Vermont Toy and Train Museum. We didn't pay admission for the museum, but Sadie rode some of the vintage rides and both she and Isaac played with the train table for a little while.



These rides cost 25 cents each and start immediately after you put the money in. And they move fast! They also do not have seat belts or any kind of safety devices. The similar but more modern rides they have outside the local Kmart are much slower, all have seatbelts and cost at least 50 cents.

This piggie moved so fast, all the pictures came out a little blurry. But you can still see how much Sadie loved it!
