🎶 The hills are alive with the sound of music 🎶

Love the Sound of Music? What if I told you that you can visit the real Von Trapp family’s lodge from the famed musical starring Julie Andrews in the quiet town of Stowe, Vermont?
Day 7 of my Autumn New England Road Trip (with a toddler) started the day by driving through Smuggler’s Notch—it’s a short and super windy drive through a mountain pass that’s seriously beautiful.
Helpful Tip: Get started on the drive as easy as possible. Traffic is notorious during foliage season so we hit the road at 7am and had it to ourselves!
We then spent the entire day exploring nature trails and hanging with animals at @trappfamilylodge, an Austrian-inspired mountain lodge with 300 acres of farmland in the middle of Stowe.
The Von Trapps, made famous from the movie The Sound of Music, fled Austria during WWII and ultimately landed in Stowe, VT where their hospitality lives on today. Did you know the Sound of Music is one of the top 10 highest-grossing films of all time??
Had we had a little more time, we also would have added:
🥾 Moss Glen Falls
⛪️ Stowe Community Church

☕️ @blackcapvermont

We did manage to catch a glimpse of the famed Stowe Community Church from afar, but any closer meant fighting traffic and huge crowds.
Come back for day 8 and the final video of the series as we explore the beautiful and family-friendly parts of Boston!

Thanks Izy! You should try it 🙂
My husband was working on a project in Aruba for over a year. Having lots of time to relax, I decided to experience different spas while in the Island and I have to say that Aqua Nails and Spa is by far the best spa in Aruba.
I love this place. Not only is the staff personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and great at what they do, they are also incredibly accommodating. They made sure I enjoyed my spa experience every time.
Thanks for sharing Liliy!
