Mini Vacation #2



This past weekend, Dad and I went to the 163rd Dutchess Co. Fair in Rhinebeck which is billed as the 2nd largest county fair in NY. We strolled around for a while visiting the arts and crafts and merchandise buildings and then we went our separate ways and I made my way to FOOD! Dad did too. I treated myself to dessert and had Apple Crisp...loaded with tasty apples and a great topping which included oatmeal(like I make mine) and vanilla ice cream. Yummy. We only stayed a few hours and then hit the road and traveled up to see Leslie, Chris and the kids for the weekend and into Monday. Dad helped Chris with a few "getting ready to move" projects, Leslie and I hit the local Goodwill and scamped up a lot of children's books, we all went out to eat at "Reader Robin" as Mitchell calls it(Red Robin) and we just hung around enjoying the 2 kids. It seemed too short but it sure is nice having them so close that we can zip up there for a weekend or even a day if need be. Soon, they will be even closer as they prepare for their next big move to West Point. Can't wait you guys.
