We're Back! June 30, 2007

Hello All

We are back on the boat - got back to Albany about 2 this morning. We had a wonderful time in Park City, Utah and Boise, Idaho. We attended 2 family reunions and visited many family members and friends.

We will be leaving in the morning and entering the Erie Canal - heading for Canada.

See you out there somewhere. . .

Hello All . . .

We rented a car on Saturday AM and drove up into the Adirondacks for a couple of days. We visited Lake George (where Robert went to camp as a kid) Fort Ticonderoga (which was right out of our 4th grade America History books) and spent the night at Lake Placid (site of 2 winter Olympic Games). Yesterday we drove back into Vermont, via a ferry across Lake Champlain (very cool). We drove pretty much the whole state and wished we had time to stop at all the neat places we saw. We did stop at the Old Vermont Country Store and loved it. A great place for gadgets and old timey stuff that is hard to find anywhere else. Many of you are probably familiar with their catalogs. Today we are driving back down the Hudson River and visit the Vanderbilt and Roosevelt homes and eat lunch at the CIA (Culinary Institute of America).

See you out there somewhere . . . Utah and Idaho later this week.

Hudson River, NY June 15, 2007

Hello All

We are in Albany, New York. The Hudson River is amazing. Everything about it is beautiful. We stopped in several small towns and explored. We are going to rent a car and spend a couple of days in the Adirondack Mountains including Lake Placid. Then we are going to Hyde Park and visit the Vanderbilt Home, Roosevelt Home and the Culinary Institute of America. We have reservations for lunch there. On Wednesday, the 20th, we are flying to Park City, Utah and Boise, Idaho for family reunions.

I'm attaching several pictures of the Hudson. Note the interesting little light houses in the middle of the river.

New York - Here We Come June 12, 2007

Hello from the Hudson River - Today we traveled from Sandy Hook, New Jersey through the New York Harbor, past the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Manhatten and about 30 miles up the Hudson. It was cloudy while we were in New York City so my pictures are not great.

It is quite a relief to see the end of salt water and tides. We'll be in Albany in a couple of days, depending on weather. The Hudson is beautiful!

Sandy Hook June 11, 2007

Hello All

Today we cruised from Atlantic City to Sandy Hook, NJ which is located on the South end of the New York Harbor. We had a delightful dinner with Lenny and Marilyn, cousins from New York who are traveling with us to Albany. The highlight of our day was a 103 year old lady we met in the restaurent who was a absolute delight. We had a easy trip, calm water for the most part and sunny skys. We had a bit of a problem getting settled in the marina. We can sure tell what part of the country we are in by the attitude of the marina employees. Anyway, we did just fine and are leaving in the AM for the Hudson.

See you out there somewhere . . . .

We're in Atlantic City. 6/10/07

Hi All

We cruised on the outside from Cape May to Atlantic City. Water was calm although there was a little fog. We were in Atlantic City before noon. We checked out the casinos and the boardwalk. What a hoot!!! And what a place to people watch. We are not gamblers so a few minutes at a nickle slot was enough of that! Cousin Bill, Van, Gus and finance' Nancy accompanied us. They are all leaving today and Cousin Lenny and his beloved are joining us later today and will be with us to Albany. We hope to leave for NY tomorrow.

See you out there somewhere. . . .

Cape May June 7, 2007

Hello All -

we are in Cape May, NJ, a beautiful and historic seaside town. We cruised from the Baltimore area to the C & D Canal, where cousins Van and Bill joined us. We left yesterday morning and had a beautiful and calm day down the Delaware Bay to Cape May. Will be leaving in the morning for Atlantic City. Hope all of you are well and safe.

Back on the water 6/5/07

Hello All . .

We flew back to Baltimore from Nashville on Sunday and cruised from Baltimore to the C & D Canal today. We had the perfect day on the water - calm seas, warm weather and no boat traffic. If doesn't get any better than this.

My cousin Bill and his wife Van are joining us this evening. We'll probably cruise on down the Delaware Bay tomorrow to Cape May.

Don't have a lot of pics to upload - just a couple of interesting boats and a lone swan.

See you all out there somewhere.
