Places Visited
Rachel, Jon, Taran, and a friend came for an overnight stay one weekend. It was wonderful to see and visit with them, to share a meal, play with toys, and read books!
Brian, Bea, Noah, and I took a trip to upstate New York for a week. We stopped in Lake George to eat lunch at the Moose Tooth and walk around the town. It was an especially delicious lunch, a band was playing in the park, and we enjoyed the water at a beach on Lake George. We then went on to Plattsburgh where we stayed at a very nice Days Inn.
The second day of the trip we went to Ausable Chasm where we walked on the trails and took a float ride. It was a hot day but the trail was shaded and it was very interesting to view the chasm from different heights. The raft guide, Jack, was knowledgeable and very helpful. We then went back to the motel for a little rest and then to the close-by City Beach. It was a very long, sandy beautiful beach. Noah and I had ice cream on the way back to the motel. It was a great summer's day.
