Our first choice on waking to another rainy morning was to go to the Shelburne Museum. However, it's not open on Sunday mornings, so instead we went to a nearby park.
We didn't regret it for a moment, and before long the sun came out and we saw:
standing stones surrounding a sundial (the kind where you are the gnomon), a tree-house and...the lake.
Eventually we made our way to the beach, where I took these pictures - none of which contains Champ (the Lake Champlain monster):
The beach was a hit with the kids (and the rest of us were quite content to watch them enjoying themselves (and writing about it):
And then we had lunch and drove home. A perfect end to a very nice weekend away.
Now...about that mystery Capital Region object - any takers?
great use of the word 'gnomon'. i'm going to try to slip that in to a conversation this week
