After Frankie and Zander left, we left Night Music in Galesville, MD, at a friend’s dock while we headed north via rental car. Our destination was the beautiful town of Henderson Harbor, just south of Watertown, NY. Our good friends Jay, Owen, and Paco Jones were there for two weeks visiting family and friends and it was perfect timing for a land-based vacation away from the boat. Especially the prospect of hot running water, flush toilets, and real beds! We had a great time with the Joneses, started the first morning with Reed and Paco doing chores around the cabin to earn some money for a trip to Target to purchase Yugio cards. Reed, Paco, and Owen played hours of Yugio, while Ava enjoyed catching up on a few favorite TV shows. We swam in Lake Ontario, jumping off the docks at the Joneses and also across the harbor at their friend’s house. The weather was perfect – for swimming, sailing, smore’s by the firepit on shore, kayaking, playing corn hole tournament and a trip to the beach. The only rainy morning we saw a movie, by the time it was done, the sun was out and we had a yummy lunch in historic Sacketts Harbor. We packed a lot of fun into four days! From there, we took a spontaneous side trip though the Adirondack Park, Lake Placid and over to Burlington, VT. Some other close Seattle friends were there visiting family – so we got to catch up with the Radabaugh and Bosselman families, as well. It was a short visit but so good to see everyone, although it did leave us a little homesick for all of those friends we miss back home. Time is flying quickly, though, with almost a year gone in the trip and a year left to go – we will be back in Seattle before we know it with lots of time to see everyone even more. |
