Tuesday the 12th was another gorgeous weather day that we couldn't waste, so we did our half-day of school/work in the morning and loaded the bikes up again for a ride on the Burlington Greenway Trail along the waterfront of Lake Champlain. This was a new one for us, and it was fantastic. I think the best part was North Beach Park, where we parked to start and finish our ride, which gave us a perfect spot for a picnic dinner when we were done and then a fun splash in the lake as we watched the sun sink lower and begin to set. What a place!

This looks like a cemetery or something, but I think those
posts are just to mark parking spaces but you can't even tell
it's a parking lot because of all the leaves! |
 |
We made it maybe 4 miles (we still need to calculate)
along the path until we hit this closed area on Austin
Drive. It was a good spot to turn around, but kind of a bummer
we couldn't make it to Blanchard Beach. ;) |
 |
It was such a fun ride with lots of different things to see:
downtown area, pier, train tracks, neighborhoods, etc. |
 |
| And the sky was fantastic! |
 |
| So fun to see the sailboats! |
 |
| A perfect picnic spot. |
 |
It was in the 70s, and the water was shallow and actually
not that cold, and . . . when in Rome . . . |
 |
| They could walk out forever without it getting deep! |
 |
| No swim suits? No problem! |
 |
Pale pink sky as we drove through Burlington on our
way out of town. |
 |
| And even brighter still once we hit the freeway. |
