I wish I could report that we had a super-fun itinerary planned, but the day was mellow and uneventful. While Matthew slept in, Chris and I worked on the computer and played catch-up. As I sat in the hotel breakfast room and watched the rain come down in buckets, I was very glad for our…
After tidying up and buttoning down the cottages, we set out on a 4-day excursion from the lake. We are planning to see Woodstock on the way out and Cooperstown on the return, but the primary purpose of the trip is to deliver Matthew to West Point; R-Day is Monday June 29th. We couldn’t have…
We drove over 3,000 miles in the summer of 2015, starting in Oregon and ending in New York. Learn about the path we took and what we saw along the way.

Buildings are newly painted in bright colors and more games and activities have been added (arcade and carnival games, 3-foot chess, life-size "Operation" game, etc.). We've had the radio tuned to 92.9 KQKA while opening the cottages this week, so it was hard to…
