They were called the Von Trapp family before they came to the United States. Pretty much everything else in the Sound of Music is fiction, including the kids’ names, but the family did open up a hotel in Vermont, and the hotel is still there, although the family members depicted in the movie are all gone now. We were heading toward Burlington last night and Jen started looking for hotels. She found a link to the Trapp Family Lodge and we started heading that way. I would go back there in a heartbeat. It was a really nice place.
I took a few pics of the view from our tiny little balcony.
The morning mist in the valley was pretty cool.
COWS!
When we came back from breakfast the mist was gone.
The mist was gone, but the cows were still there.
The mist was gone, but the spider in the next door balcony was still there. Morning, Boris!

WOW! My parents have a time share at Trapp. It so cool to see here. I haven’t been back in two years, but Vermont is home. Enjoy your time there. People love the highland cattle, i have photos of them on the right side of my blog. ~amy
