How can you top high scores for child care and health, a glorious location at the edge of Lake Champlain and a charming restored downtown ? Why, with a few scoops of Ben and Jerry's, of course, since this is where thier ice-cream empire began. Burlington is also home to 40,000 residents, the University of Vermont, seven miles of bike paths and superb skiing less than an hour away.
