On a sunny summer day in Vermont, the Olson crew took a delicious detour to the legendary Ben & Jerryβs Experience! From factory tours and flavor sampling to photo ops with giant pints and cow cutouts, this sweet stop gave us a behind-the-scenes taste of ice cream history and a lot of laughs. Part of our unforgettable 2025 family adventure, this POAP celebrates our shared scoops, smiles, and memories made in the Green Mountain State!
Olson Family Vacation 2025
2025-07-31
Olson Family: Turning vacations into legendary adventures since 2004! From the cobblestone streets of Old MontrΓ©al to the rolling hills of Stowe, the Olson clan embarked on an epic 7-day journey! We danced with lights at Notre-Dame's Aura Experience, conquered the rapids on jet boats, mastered the art of bagel-making, and gasped in wonder at Cirque du Soleil. Border-hopping adventurers explored underground cities, soared on zip lines, and cheered at fireworks over the Old Port. In Vermont, we sampled Ben & Jerry's finest, hiked mountain trails, and raised steins at Von Trapp's Bierhall. From sunrise farmer's markets to sunset dinners, 22 years of family traditions created memories to last a lifetime. July 30 - August 6, 2025 | MontrΓ©al, Quebec & Stowe, Vermont

In the midst of a blizzard Jamie decided that it would be a good idea to take the older kids that had just finished sledding for an hour to town 11 miles away. After clearing the Mazda CX-9 of snow and getting it warmed up Jamie pulled out with Mazie, Nora, Tyler, Levi, and Elsa. The snow was deeper than Jamie expected but they made it up the driveway and turned right onto the dirt road. The road had no clear markings and with the blizzard the snow had blown over everything. There was only snow in front of us and not being able to see the road Jamie drove right off the crown of the road putting the passenger side wheels in the ditch. Mazie, Nora, and Jamie attempted to dig the wheels out and push but the Mazda simply slid further into the ditch. Hector came out to help and we proceeded to make no progress, simply sliding further into the ditch. Denny then came to the rescue with his pickup and tow strap. First attempt to pull the Mazda out actually pulled Denny's truck into the ditch too and left him stuck. Luckily the crew was able to get the truck unstuck, and a 2nd attempt to pull the Mazda out was more successful. Denny pulled in the truck and Jamie managed the Mazda until we got all wheels back on the road. Finally, after nearly an hour, both cars returned and everyone rejoiced.
