While up in the Northeast a few weeks back, we were based out of Burlington, VT. It's quite a quaint little town & we really enjoyed hanging out in the college town. My downtown photos came out pretty bleh, but I took some good ones across the river in New York.
We had to wait for the ferry (such a strange concept to me!) & so we grabbed dinner at the above restaurant and were treated to a very cool early evening rainbow.
The ferry wasn't too busy- we just parked our car in line, walked over & enjoyed a nice dinner on Lake Champlain.
Although it was mid-May, the summer ferry in the center of the lake wasn't running yet.
These are the infamous Adirondacks! They'd been on my list of places to check out & I finally was able to see them. We spent a few hours driving around & I'll have those photos posted probably sometime this year.
Flying out of Burlington, I got some great shots of Lake Champlain- there are all sorts of coves and inlets along the shoreline.
These tiny islands were so cute...I wonder if anybody owns them. I wonder if they ever get flooded. I wonder if the lake freezes over in the winter. So many questions & no answers!
The Adirondacks looked so pretty with all its green trees and foothills.
We even flew over the tiny little ferry port & dock house restaurant where we had dinner.
This is the gorgeous sunset from my hotel room in Burlington. It's a hippie college town & they have a very nice pedestrian walkway with shops, restaurants, bars and art galleries for browsing.
GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY: No more work travel for 2 weeks!

Burlington's a nice town. That's where I first had sushi. An old relative of mine (Ethan Allen) lived near there back in the day, too. And now I miss the Adirondacks. *sniff*
