Staycation Day 5: Spent today on a boat at the lake.  We thought it was going to be crap weather this afternoon so when it stayed so nice we couldn't pass up the opportunity to see the sunset at our friends (Thomas and Debbie) rental house on Lake Opechee.

Winter Wonderland adventure part 2! ❄️☃️ The boys went off to Attitash to ski for the day and the rest of us went snowshoeing!

Later that afternoon we decided to go back to the trails for some Nordic fun!

On to our next Winter Wonderland adventure and we're on to a new phase in family road tripping. 😬 First thing I'm going to do upon arrival is pour myself a stiff drink. 🥃😂

Last day in Burlington and we hit up some brunch at The Skinny Pancake before one last adventure on the lake. The Bloody Mary was delicious!

After brunch we checked out of the hotel and headed to the lake to use the paddle boards we borrowed from our friends; the blue algae was gone and so it was safe to be in the water again.  However, I learned that paddle boarding on a choppy lake is much different than on a river. Also, unintentionally, I can cross off swimming in Lake Champlain off my bucket list. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

This was such a nice getaway, we really enjoyed Burlington. We were able to walk to almost all of our destinations. We ate some really good food and had some really great drinks. I still prefer the ocean to the lake but it was nice to explore a new city!

One last brewery to hit on our way out of town - Burlington Beer Co.!

Lake Champlain hair, don't care. 😆

Day 2 in Burlington, did not disappoint, despite some rain this afternoon! Bike ride on the Causeway, more breweries, more bourbon, more good food. 🤩

The Causeway bike path

We made it back before the rain storm!  It lasted about an hour so it wasn't too bad and we were able to get right back out to the city for another brewery stop and then dinner.

Next brewery stop was Zero Gravity Beer Hall.  I was happy to find something worthy of my tastebuds as I am not a beer fan!  This place offered pre-mixed cocktails.  I thought the Manhattan was pretty solid considering.

Not impressed with the humidity.
It's not as bad as Monica but this was flat ironed before we left.

Church Street was such a cool place to walk around!

The place that I had wanted to eat, only had an available table at 8pm, so we decided to kill some time at The Burlington Whiskey Room.  And we couldn't resist trying the Chicken Curry Poutine and the peach old fashioned was amazing!  YUM!

Finally to our dinner reservation at Pizzeria Verita.  

This was my favorite food of the entire trip.  This is house made mozzarella made fresh daily.  I wish I could have taken a vat of it home with me.
