Susan and Judy's Roadtrip

Hi Everyone,

Susan and I just completed a 1400 mile Roadtrip in 4 days.

Our final destination was Kenyon College in Gambier Ohio. Susan will be working there for 5 weeks as an RA for their Young Writers Program.

We took the opportunity to make it into a roadtrip and hit some fun stops along the way.

We left Tuesday evening and immediately went to The Dr. Seuss Memorial Sculpture Garden in Springfield MA. We really enjoyed the Yertle the Turtle and Max statues.

We proceeded to New Rochelle NY to spend the night at my friend Susie Silberberg's home. Susan was actually named after her! We enjoyed a wonderful evening with Susika, her daughters and wonderful Mom, Vera!

After a too brief visit we headed off Wed AM to Sleepy Hollow NY to the Headless Horseman's bridge - very cool!

Next stop: Bethel NY and the site of WOODSTOCK. It is the 40th Anniversary this year. Very cool museum and gorgeous grounds.

Our next stop was SUNY Binghamton. Advantageously, my sister in law Lee, niece Alena and DJ were driving up to see my nephew Max (a SUNY Senior) and start DJ's college tour! We had a great dinner, drank wine, had a good night's sleep and toured the beautiful campus the next morning.

Susan and I then headed for Niagra Falls and Toronto. Yes, we got very wet, but ended up happy and ensconced in the China Town section of Toronto Thursday evening.

Friday, we were lucky to be directed to the CN Tower. The tallest free standing building in the World. We then began our final leg to Ohio - but not before getting lost in Toronto.

Finally, we made it Gambier - and enjoyed a relaxing evening, with wine and movies.

Saturday we finished up with some shopping in Columbus, and I flew home.

Susan and I will meet up on August 5th at the Silberberg's again - this time to see HAIR on Broadway for her 19th birthday.

Great trip, and great memories.

Don and Judy's Island Vacation

Hi Everyone,

We had an amazing vacation.
The weather was PERFECT.
The flights were PERFECT.
The service was PERFECT.
The drinks were PERFECT.
The meals were PERFECT.
The beach was PERFECT.

We even soloed on a sailboat - and did not capsize!
Came home and the kids had done a great job in our absence....
LOVE YOU ALL,

Don and Judy
