The Ethan Allen

Saturday-Oct.15th-We woke up to rain but then the sun came out.  It was windy and chilly but we had a great family soccer game on our campground lawn.  We then loaded up and drove 30 miles to Burlington and Lake Champlain.  We rode our bikes on the bike path for a short while before the weather turned.  It is a great, paved bike trail that goes down along the water.  It feels like your riding along the ocean with all the crashing waves and beaches.  We went on the Ethan Allen cruise that tooks us out in the lake with great views of the Adirondecks and of the Green Mts and Burlington.  Great history narrative as well and we all enjoyed it.  Mark and I enjoyed the scenery and the sun that came out as we got going.  Janae and Stefan I think liked being served hot chocolate and snacks on a boat.  They thought this was pretty special.  Burlington is a cool town and has almost a coastal flavor to it.  Rhythm kind of like Eugene, Oregon or Ithaca New York.  University of Vermont is here along with Champlain College. We walked a bit on Church Street which is like Pearl Street in Boulder.  It was fun to see all the gray granite everywhere.
