I left last Monday morning to do a little trip to Janesville. It was a multiple purpose trip, to do some visiting, to do some sight-seeing, to take photos and to go clothes shopping.
Let's start with MONDAY-
Monday involved an uneventful trip to Jon and Sarah's house in Janesville. I got there with a few hours to go before the kids got home from work and then we packed our cameras and headed up to Madison.
Sarah's grandparents have an adorable little cottage on Lake Mendota- and an awesome little pontoon to celebrate that lake! They were gracious enough to allow Jon and Sarah to take me on a little cruise around the the city, and it was wonderful. I love love love boats and this trip was no disappointment. It was the absolute perfect day to go for a ride, there were few boaters, the water was calm and the temperature and wind was a delightful combination of awesome. Not too hot or cold, not too windy. Amazing. We planned to go out and see the sunset at the end of the tour, so went clockwise around the lake.... but we went a little too fast or in some way figured wrong, and we got back with an hour to spare before sundown! So with some fast thinking and a quick check on the internet, we went for some burritos and brought them back to the pontoon and proceeded to watch the sun go down over the lake whilst eating Qdoba on the boat. Can a Monday night get any better than that?? I think not!

That was the best night! No problem finding joy on that trip.
Until next time, be a joy giver--
Great pics, sounds like a great trip! Love the "perfect sunset" shot, exquisite. Watch out for the 470s (sailboats). You definitely get wet on them. Thanks for sharing two new perspectives of our capitol! My most recent shots of it can be found here: http://flic.kr/s/aHsjvBe5AQ
