The Full Monty Covered Bridge Tour

In 2020, Amara and Mike decided to be tourists in Vermont and spent one Saturday on an 8 hour drive seeing as many covered bridges as they could. The Full Monty tour 7 bridge tour is only clocked at an hour and fifteen minutes, but we recommend giving yourself extra time to eat lunch by a particularly cool bridge or to watch wildlife fly by. Ps. This date ended up being the one that determined Amara and Mike's anniversary. They see new bridges and other cool Vermont landmarks each year to celebrate.

Prohibition Pig

Pro Pig is one of Amara's all time favorite restaurants. Enjoy dinner in the restaurant or head out back for a more laid back counter service meal.
