(Almost) every year since 1995 my family has gone camping in Vermont in the Summer. For a few Summers I went with my two best friends. Now Christian has joined in on the tradition and we enjoy our quick weekends away in the sticks. We hike/walk, do a little shopping at the Vermont Country Store and just enjoy the company of family and less screen time. Of course I always have my phone with me so I can take pictures, but I try not to do anything else.
I'm well prepared for our hikes with my comfortable orthotics from PowerStep. I have been using their inserts in various shoes for years now and they really do make a difference. This pair is by Rykä and have lasted me quite a few years. If you aren't sure what type you need, you can use their Insole Finder and take a quiz to see! No hiking outfit is complete without comfortable leggings - my favorites at the moment are from Colorfulkoala. I've also got on my tick/mosquito repellant socks, mosquito bracelet, and trusty Ray-Ban sunglasses. Plus my runDisney completer shirt from 2023!
A newer tradition while camping is grabbing a ton of sausages from A Crooked Barn Charcuterie. Pete makes artisanal sausages with locally and sustainably farmed ingredients! We usually leave with 3 or 4 varieties and freeze them to use throughout the year! This year we bought 5—we meant to buy 6 but since we were getting some for others in our group we miscounted. Pete told us that we were some of his first 50 customers when he started his business, which I didn't know, super cool!
