As I alluded to yesterday, Marc and I spent all day Sunday out on Lake Champlain. After hearing about the boat from Marc's Uncle Billy for quite some time we were finally able to get out and enjoy a boat trip together. We were lucky enough to also have the company of Uncle Billy's wife Mandy and their daughter Heidi.

Marc tried his best to pretend that it was his boat ...

| My husband - the wannabe captain |
... but it was obvious who was really in charge ...

| The captain: Uncle Billy |
... and who was having the best time on his boat.
I don't think we could have gotten a better day to be on the lake. Endless sunshine, temperatures in the 80s and a beautiful uncrowded lake.
After boarding the boat and leaving the marina we headed up the lake to the
Basin Harbor Club in Vergennes. Here we stopped to have lunch at the Red Mill Restaurant.
The restaurant is inside a renovated sawmill and as well as being able to arrive by boat you can also arrive by plane. Right behind the restaurant is a grass airstrip where we watched both a plane land and take off. Below is a small video of the plane we watched take off.
After lunch we spent the afternoon just cruising around the lake and back to the Marina. It was such a great day to catch up with Uncle Billy, Aunt Mandy and Heidi. I know Marc and I are both looking forward to the next time we can go out. Hopefully it will involve some swimming and more great family time!
