Want to buy first boat. recommendations please

Hi everybody.
Well I would like to buy a boat this year and I really have not got a clue as to what I am doing.I am not a fisherman.I have no experience on the water other than a canoe and very little at that. I am basicaly looking for something portable and easy to handle just to putts around the lakes when the wife and I go camping a couple of times a summer.
i am considering either an aluminum or an inflatable, or porta-boat.We are not interested in speed just safe and fun and easy to store.I am leaning towards an inflatable.
I would welcome your opinions and pros and cons of either as well as experience.
Thanks and have a good night.
