'dacks!

After leaving Elaine and Steve’s, holding our sides from breakfast (ham quickies - yum!), we went to Syracuse. Our first stop was Edie Derrick, a good family friend that loves to bake while we love to eat; it’s a wonderful combination. She took us to the Brooklyn Pickle for sandwiches that neither of us could finish!



In the afternoon we headed to Leslie’s (my cousin) new house on the shore of Oneida Lake. We admired the beautiful view and chatted away the afternoon. We even got to see her husband, Brad, as we were heading out.

The last two days of our trip were spent at North Lake in the Adirondacks, the location of my parent’s camp! We spent the days relaxing on the porch (with Lisa crushing me in a cribbage marathon...) and paddling on the lake. The weather was beautiful, but on the second day some thunderstorms started to roll in and we decided that was the sign to head home.



We had a rainy drive through the Adirondacks and a slight wait at the Crown Point ferry which didn’t feel like it took any time at all comparatively. We pulled into the driveway around 6:30 with an expectant cat in the window.



It was a great trip and we totaled 15,000 miles on the new car! We’re looking forward to spending autumn in Vermont. However, we’re already tossing around ideas for our next road-trip adventure!
