Day 5.147: Weekend part 2 - Beach!

I know the weekend is starting to feel far away (in time), but here is part two of the recap (here is part 1)!

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?
