Today we received free admission to the Montshire Museum because Marc's company is a corporate donor. Since it's been on our list of things to check out and it was a rainy day we decided to head on over. For some reason it has always been a children's museum in my mind. I'm not sure why because even though it was crawling with children today it was definitely a science musuem. If you've ever been to The Exploratorium in San Francisco it was more like that then Kidspace in Pasadena. We had lots of fun learning about space and local animals (bees, ants, fish, frogs, etc). Plus we challenged ourselves survivor-style with some puzzles. There was definitely lots to see which means we have to go back when our nieces and/or nephews visit.
Speaking of children, the best part of the visit was when we ran into one of Marc's coworkers. After introducing us to his child he looked around and asked us where ours was. Which left us to admit that no, we have no kids, we just wanted to play.
After the museum the ongoing search-for-the-perfect-sausage sent us to Liberal Meats in Claremont where we were able to buy hog casing, pork shoulder and pork fat. The store is a flashback to your neighborhood butcher. People were coming in to buy their cuts of meat for the week and I'm pretty sure that when we asked for pork fat the butcher walked into the meat freezer and literally sliced it off the pig. Tonight we'll find out if the secret to delicious sausage in Vermont is to just make it yourself from local ingredients.
