Burlington Vermont

Got on the road and loaded the GPS with the directions and took off. Didn't pay attention to the AAA trip tix anymore as the GPS knows it all. Well I should have known with a lady telling me where to go something would be messed up ( Cece telling me where to go doesn't count ) . Well it was a nice ferry boat ride across Lake Champlain. The GPS told us the direction and then it took us to a port for the ferry ride. This was the most direct way I guess and the ferry route was in the GPS so they must have it GPSed some how. It was a nice cruise across the lake. The trip tix had us going across into Vermont at the bottom of the 150 mile lake and we were at the top 1/3 of the lake. To turn and go down was to long and to go up would have cost about the same in gas so we took the boat. Man the white caps were high and smashing over the front of the boat getting everything wet. 2 interesting things happened while on board though. 1. A guy got out of his truck and his cell phone fell out of his pocket into the lake, too funny. 2. A little Jewish boy was walking along the rail and the wind took his skull hat off and it to went into the lake, not funny as he cried.

As it did yesterday it rained a good part of the drive and has since we got here. Nate and I are itching to get on the bikes and plan on getting a few rides in over the next few days. The sun is supposed to poke it's head out tomorrow morning so after the conference we are going to check out some local trails if we can. We went to a cool seafood place on the lake for dinner and then the kids just got out of the pool. Cece and he kids are going to check some things around the area while I attend the conference and then we will do some things at night after the ride. Now we are going too watch the tour and relax after all the driving. Later..

Did the little lady in your computer tell you to turn when you were on the boat?
