On a whim, Jeanine and I decided to head off on a road trip.  Our first destination was Burlington, VT where we dined with and spent the night at Jeanine’s sister’s house.  Before arriving we went for a leisurely stroll on the town’s boardwalk/bike path which borders Lake Champlain.  There, preparations were underway for the Vermont City Marathon and Relay to be run on Sunday.  We encountered what appear to be the flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz and a litter of baby Rottweilers which could not have been more adorable.  Good thing we left Maya at home with Nicolai and Johnny, otherwise we would have been returning home with another dog.
