It's been a while but we made the trip back to New York over the fourth. It was largely a spontaneous decision to go on our part. Mike learned from his sister that Uncle Gus and his neighbors would be throwing a big (~70 people) 4th of July party and all the cousins and their families would be there.We also wanted to surprise Mike's mom who is doing ok but recovering from hernia surgery. After traveling on the fourth and arriving at my sister's quite late, we managed to get over to Longview just before lunch time. The four of us wandered into the cafeteria and found mom patiently waiting for her meal. Unfortunately, we were not early enough to take her out for lunch but the surprise was worth the trip.
For many reasons, it was a good trip. We caught up with family and friends, visited old haunts, made a trip to Cooperstown, did a little hiking and just had a fairly relaxing time together. New York weather didn't disappoint us either... There was no shortage of humidity and thunderstorms. Here's a photo album from our time in Fair Haven.
