I'm going to be in Burlington VT for a week in June -- suggestions?

I'm at a conference for the week, so I'm not going to have TONS of time, but I will have a little time to escape and see the area. Ben and Jerry's is already on the itinerary, and I will also be doing this:

Anything I absolutely shouldn't miss?

Thanks!

1. Montreal is a 75 minute drive away...

GO!

[leftyclimber]

2. If I go to Montreal I will defect.

It is Portland, Oregon, in French. (I've had Montrealers tell me that Portland was Montreal in English ... go figure.)

I lived 7 years in and around Toronto. I don't know what I was thinking coming back.

3. Umm... I've got family there so both times I've been there they already had stuff for us to do.

I never had to think of anything myself. :P

[leftyclimber]

4. Ummm ... what kind of stuff did you do?

:P

[DarkTirade]

8. Not much actually.

My family are all old and feeble and they don't go out and do stuff.

I mean, my brother just passed thirty recently, and my half-sister is well into her mid-30s... :P

9. Dude.

They're, like, younger than me, even. I must be ancient. :P

10. Surely not... that's impossible!

No one's been ALIVE that long! :P

11. Last I checked, I was at least 10,000,000 years old

Luckily my family doesn't get TOO wrinkly.

More amazingly, my parents AND one of my grandmothers are still around! I may make it to 20,000,000 yet!

Anything you wanted to know about dinosaurs? I got the first-hand deal right here. :evilgrin:

5. Go see a Burlington Bees minor league game

Get yourself a REASONABLY PRICED beer and hot dog, buy a souvenir, spend an evening in June with baseball at a minor league game the way it ought to be (I'm a Lansing Lugnuts fan myself. Go Nuts!): http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/index.jsp?sid=t420

[leftyclimber]

6. Cool! There are a bunch of folks going who are baseball fiends.

That would be a fun evening. Thanks!

7. Just report back. Let us know how you enjoyed it!

Minor league baseball is one of the underappreciated joys of life, and pretty cheap, too.

Let's see: Outdoors in Vermont on an evening in June, with friends who like baseball, drinking a few(?) beers and watchin' the game. All I can say is,

Wish I could be there, too.
