Montpelier

Montpelier has the honor of being the smallest State Capitol in America.  Some people may see that as a negative, but it also gives it the appeal of a small town with a population of only around 8,000.  The main street in town is lined with local restaurants and shops instead of chain stores.  It is actually the only State Capitol in America that does NOT contain a McDonald's!

We ate at the Skinny Pancake (which also has a location in Burlington), and it was quite delicious.  They specialize in crepes, but also make various other breakfast foods.  There is limited seating though, so try to get there during an "off" hour.

The State House is quite nice with it's gold dome, and is also the smallest State House in America.  They do offer tours of it during the week, but since we were in Montpelier on a Sunday, no tour was available.  While there isn't much to do directly in Montpelier, it is a nice town to check out if you happen to be passing near it on your way to other destinations, as we were on our way to Cabot.
