We'll travel first to nearby Arlington to visit the Chocolatorium, a new chocolate exhibit, party place and fun place to explore. We'll immerse ourselves in the wonderful world of chocolate.

Chocolate...that dark, pleasantly bittersweet, creamy luscious, mouth-watering, impossible to forget taste! Mmmmmmmm!
Our lunch today is at the Bennington Station Restaurant. Enjoy traditional American cuisine in the ambiance of a historic railroad station. The restaurant is on the register for historic places and has a long and proud history.

Following lunch, we'll visit the Bennington Pottery to watch master potters at work. Most pottery companies employ high volume assembly lines to produce thousands of pieces per hour. Bennington Potters is one of the largest working craft potteries in America, creating less than 500 pieces each day. Their pottery productions is organized around individual work station where carefully orchestrated handwork is completed. They believe this unconventional approach makes their pottery special. Creating a diversity of shapes to compliment various cooking, entertaining and decorating preferences is something they take pride in.
