We took this photo tonight at the waterfront. We had just finished having a maple creemee with our family at Burlington Bay. Afterwards, we walked past fragrant trees in flower, and sat on a bench and watched the sunset.
When we lived in Grand Isle, we were able to gaze out at the lake every day. Now we live in Burlington and see the lake if we walk or drive down. This made me think -- I get to enjoy the lake with very little effort and a lot less taxes! I have to exert some effort but I get exercise doing it. The lake is very accessible and I don't have to live right on the water to enjoy it.
We first had dinner at Leunig's, our favorite restaurant on Church Street. Our granddaughter danced to musice from street musicians. People were juggling, doing acrobatics atop piled chairs, and making balloon sculptures.
Other restaurants we enjoy on Church Street are The Scuffer and Three Tomatoes. By the lake we eat at The Ice House and Shanty by the Shore.
As the sun was setting, the ferry from Plattsburgh came by and sounded its horn. Sailboats under motor were coming in for the night. All I could think of was how great it was to live in Burlington, Vermont and enjoy its lively waterfront. And it was especially wonderful sharing it with family.
