Heading home this morning. Went for a good walk around the site, then we took advantage of the morning sun and went for a quick swim. The water was certainly cooler than when we were at Rollins a couple of weeks back. Still nice to get in and float around a bit.
2012 Vacation Day 12 - Tuesday: winding down...
Off to Fish Creek Pond this morning, our last destination before home. We have planned to cut short our time away by a few nights, as the older of our two cats, Taffy, has been declining in the last few months and finds it harder when we are away so we don't want to be away too many nights in a row.
2012 Vacation Day 11 - Monday: a shortcut is not always a shortcut...
A little voice woke me early this morning with her classic line... "I was thinking". I reached for my watch in the dark and learned that it was 4:10 in the morning, nothing like starting your thinking for the day real early.
2012 Vacation Day 10 - Sunday: Range Rover... the new punch buggy.
Forecast predicts a nice day today, so we are heading to the Hamptons, more specifically, Montauk. This is as far east that you can go on Long Island. We want to check out the towns along the way and find a nice beach.
2012 Vacation Day 9 - Saturday: return of the pullcord shower...
Rained all night, and at times it was really hammering down. At least there was no wind, but there was an abundance of lightning and thunder. Boomer did not make an appearance until later in the morning, and his brother has been relatively quiet.
2012 Vacation Day 8 - Friday: the roar of the lawnchair...
Heading further west this morning on the island to Wildwood State Park. Slowly got packed away, took the opportunity of a quick wash of the Santa Fe and the Alto, as they were getting a little rod weary.
2012 Vacation Day 7 - love the MOMA...
Well, the walking has caught up to us. Not only are the feet sore, but the body is tired as well.
2012 Vacation Day 6 - Wednesday: forever walking...
Up early, as we have lots to see. This morning we caught the uptown loop, and we are lucky to get a great tour guide, which really makes a huge difference. He knew his history of the area and his delivery was excellent.
2012 Vacation Day 5 - Tuesday: the Big Apple...
Off to Manhattan this morning. Gus was up and waiting, so we went over around 7:30, in plenty of time to catch the 8:00 train to Penn Station.
2012 Vacation Day 4 - Monday: sand, breakers and sun...
Cooled off nicely last night, considering it was a pretty hot day. Decided to take a run over to Fire Island, a barrier island that consists of a massively long beach, dotted with numerous little towns. It is pretty much car free, so several ferries run to back and forth.
2012 Vacation Day 3 - Sunday: onto the Isle...
Up and out early. Our ferry reservation is for 1:30 out of Bridgeport Connecticut, but we are pretty close to Bridgeport so we want to see if we can catch an earlier one. Nice drive cross country, lots of estate type homes, long stretches of roads where the trees are totally covering the road, offering wonderful coolness to the drive.
2012 Vacation Day 2 - Saturday: and the skies opened...
No rush to pull out this morning as we only have about 4 hours driving ahead of us. Walked up and had a nice shower, in a well made, relatively new comfort station. Beautiful beam construction, with a vandal proof interior.
2012 Trip 7: Vacation - Long Island NY
Friday - Day 1: A Very Adirondack Day...
On the road around 9:30, we are heading for state park in New York called Moreau Lake. This will get us closer to the ferry point at Bridgeport CT. The route to Moreau takes us right through the Adirondacks, and it is a beautiful drive.

2012 Trip 6: Yuuuup...the're teardroppers
Rollins Pond SP - Aug 2012
Friday:
Headed out Friday morning, bit of an extra long weekend. Back to Rollins Pond, as the lure of a site directly on the water is truly most appealing. It is a nice drive to the Adirondacks, as it is mostly on secondary highways through quite scenic countryside.
