Chittenden Reservoir | The daily craic

A smiling dog

Posted on July 18, 2010 by thedailycraic

I’ve raved about Vermont before, and I’ll do it again. This weekend Colin and I went to visit his family for the weekend – we went on the boat all day Saturday on Lake Bomoseen which was amazing. There’s just nothing more relaxing than drinking some vino, eating some snacks and lounging on a beautiful lake. We had a minor problem when we were in the middle of the lake and the boat wouldn’t start, but other than that the afternoon went smoothly. We just had Colin hop out and pull us around.

Only kidding, we got towed back feeling like big Dorks with a capital D, but then Woodard Marine saved us – they let us use one of their (really nice) boats and we went back out there with a vengeance. We had some more wine, more snacks, more sun, more swimming and lots more fun!

A smiling dog! Is she not one of the cutest dogs you've ever seen??

Dugan is the star of the daily craic today!

Hi Jean!

Really nice camp!

After the lake we made a pit stop at Roxies Fries to get Maple milkshakes. I’m pretty sure they’re just vanilla milkshakes with Vermont maple syrup, so I guess they’re easy – they’re also 150% amazing. Such a delicious treat!

YUM

Dugan liked it too!

We had an amazing pulled pork dinner Saturday night and hung out on the back deck.

Today we went to church, had delicious blueberry pancakes Mr. and Mrs. T made for us and then headed up to Chittenenden Reservoir, which is one of my favorite spots in VT. We brought Dugan Mae (Jean’s dog) with us and it was so fun watching her run and hop around in the water – she is a great little pup.
