Summer trip day Ten, Lake Willoughby and the NEK
Kat and I drove around the lake and even stopped by an Open House. There was so much to love about this property on the lake complete with a dock and a boat garage. Kat was ready to go pack up our bags from the rental and move in. We did go back to get the kids so they could enjoy the lake.
(BIG) The daughter brought her sketchbook and put it to good use.
The boys were happy to play in the sand.
(BIG) Forced perspective, #1 son appears as a giant wading across the lake
I brought my treasure from the day before.
We also stopped by the South beach of Lake Willoughby, but it was too cold and windy to stay.
We went to Saint Johnsbury for the evening.
I worried that the Kingdom Taproom would not be kid friendly, I was wrong. They even had a kids menu with some delicious mac-n cheese on it. They also enjoyed French Onion Soup. I had a place on the river marked for dinner so Kat and I held out.
The restaurant on the Passumpic river had a gorgeous setting, but the food was just OK. Hey, they can't all be awesome.
I found something I liked.
The sun set as we drove home on HWY 91.
Funny thing about driving in VT, everybody drives 65 MPH or below. I'm used to the TX HWY where everybody is driving 75-85 MPH. I often had to apply the brakes when I realized I'm flying past people at a much higher speed.
We enjoyed staying up late catching up on Parks and Recreation while Kat and I finished the growler at home. It was a good day.
