While camping, we got out and made the most of our time in Vermont!
One place we wanted to visit was Burlington. Apparently, it's not just a coat factory. Although they did have a slight flying monkey problem...
Part of the appeal of Burlington is Lake Champlain. Sometimes referred to as the sixth great lake, it seems that Vermont should just be happy with what it has instead of trying to compare itself to other places. Sorry, that's not fair. For all I know it's the New Yorkers who call it a little great.
One particularly fun feature we found was a boat parking lot. Well, what else could it be?
Well now, look at this. On one sign, the record high for the water is 101.86 feet. Meanwhile, on the little reading monitor, the current water level was measured at 102.73. Wow, we were present at a record. So maybe that parking lot wasn't intentional...
Yeah...the rising water appears to have caught many people off guard.
We also stopped by and checked out the state capitol building. Justin's old nemesis, scaffolding, tried to get into the shot, but he managed to block it out pretty well in this shot.
Finally, this shot is actually from right in front of our apartment. You may have heard about some of the crazy weather New England has been experiencing. When you see clouds like these come rolling in it means either a wicked storm is coming through or an alien invasion. Either way, you head indoors as soon as possible.
