Set us up to enjoy establishing our gardens and landscaping together at our new home! (Any shade-friendly suggestions?)

Help us rent a wood splitter for recently cut trees on our property, have some seasoned wood delivered, and get our chimney cleaned— all to set us up for The Cosiest Winter Ever, 2019-2020.

Our first date was creemees (VT-style soft-serve ice cream), which is the best dessert for almost any evening out. We hope to pair creemees with dinner from the Arcadian (our latest favorite in Middlebury, where we went the night we got engaged) or Flatbread (yum).

Sunday shopping trips to the Middlebury Food Co-op become dates when you grab a newspaper and two custom smoothies :) Plus, cooking together the rest of the week!

We love summer concerts at Shelburne Museum and winter concerts at the Flynn Center! The Middlebury Arts Center is good for great artists all year round.

If Jon's working in Burlington on the weekend and we stay overnight in the 'big city,' Sneakers in Winooski is a delicious treat before Jon heads to work and Kailee drives home! Haymaker Buns is becoming a favorite in Middlebury for the weekends that they're both off, too.

So, turns out we spend a lot of time at Happy Valley Orchard in September and October. It's just around the corner from home! A season's worth of cider donuts, cider for making hard cider, cider for drinking, apple pies, and picking apples by the bushel for snacking and baking. YUM!

Get us to the annual Ford trip to Disney!

Spa Bolton is a magical place near Montreal, on a river with swimming holes, saunas, hot tubs, and yurts for napping. There's a cute town nearby that has tasty dinner options, too!

When visiting Kailee’s family, it’d be fun to have a theater experience in NYC!

Some of our favorite spots for paddling/swimming/hiking are Green River Reservoir, Putnam Pond, and Acadia-- all State or National Parks! Your gifts will support our camping fees, firewood, tasty treats, and gear upgrades.

When Jon's off and Kailee's working, it's fun to head to Otter Creek Bakery, Taste of India, or the Co-Op for a hearty meal and a good mid-day break!
