The Shack by William P. YoungPlaces Visited
I went to Guilderland, New York to visit Derek who came home with me. On the way home, we stopped at a motor home & boat sales place and it turns out I like the Class A even though they are bigger to drive than I would like. Derek liked the ones that are pulled by a truck. Next, we stopped for breakfast at the Saugerties Diner which is just off the New York State Thruway. Derek spent a couple of days getting programs in my mother's computer and showing her how to use them. We got to take a couple of walks in Goshen, New York and had an Icee at the Burger King there. Then we went back to Albany. In Albany, we ate at Juicy Burger before I drove home.
I also got to go to Sesame Place in Langhorne, Pennsylvania with my son and grandson. I had been there a couple of times when my children were small and was surprised at how much Sesame Place has grown! It was beautiful weather and we had a great time.
