Places Visited
I was able to take Noah to tennis camp in the morning for three days and then play games, read books, and play outside in the afternoons. We had a great time!
Rachel and Taran came to visit and spend a couple of weekend nights. One of the days we met with Brian, Bea, and Noah at Liberty State Park where we took the ferry to Manhattan. We walked through the Oculus, then on to South Street Seaport. I had wanted to go there for a long time so I was happy to visit the several museums there. We ate lunch at Cobol & Co. then climbed the Irish Hunger Memorial on the way back to the ferry. We got ice cream while we visited and waited for the ferry. It was a great day! Before they left, Rachel, Taran, and I went to Glen Arden to visit my mother. She was glad to see everyone and especially to see how Taran is growing and crawling!
Derek and I went to the doctor's then met Rachel for lunch at a Wendy's in Schenectady, NY. I got my thoughtful birthday presents from them as well as talk with them during lunch.
