You're making me glad I jumped on a Viarail special and have train tickets to Montreal in November. (I've been…

Yup, also true in San Francisco & at Volcanoes park in Hawaii.

Hmh, the weather was pretty near perfect for us, which probably makes my memory more idyllic. But, also, as denizens…

It’s freezing today. In the 50s and 60s. I packed when it was in the 90s in Jersey. After Steve…

Day 2 in Montreal. Mass at the @basiliquenotredame. Jaw dropping organ music and wood paneling. Boys did an afternoon at the anime convention, and we went to the @pointeacalliere, the archeology museum. Dinner at @brasserie701.

Got into Montreal in time for dinner and crepes. Tomorrow, mass at the cathedral around the corner, a museum, and a spontaneous anime convention.

We like to eat. Tonight, it was grilled pork tenderloin, roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes with a spicy mayo dip, and sautéed cabbage. Yesterday, I did a sheet pan with chicken thighs (salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, fresh tarragon, butter) and carrots (salt, pepper, olive oil, tarragon). Forgot to take the after picture.

Farmer’s meals will continue until November. Yum

Can you canoe? We rented canoes from Al’s in Downsville. They brought us up river and then we paddled for an hour — okay, just chilled out and current took us down stream to our car. Then, lots of exploring and eating for the rest of the day.

Escaped! Steve and I are in the Catskills for the weekend. Solo. Sans children. More pictures to come.

New Paltz, New York is an 80s-era hippie town with little shops selling rainbow-colored hackey sacks with the smell of weed in the air. A few years ago, you could get a decent second home up there for under $100K. Now, they're calling the Catskills the new Hamptons. Boo. But it's still the type of place where you can spend a few hours hiking, fishing, or biking, and then put all those calories back on at a pub. Outdoor fun plus food and wine is really our favorite type of adventure. Because we only live an hour and a half away, it's a frequent day trip for us. This weekend, we did ten miles on the rail trail, a converted rail line turned into a bike path that crosses the state. One of Steve's friends biked that path from Buffalo to New York over two weeks. The path begins right in the center of town, so it's easy to jump from pub to trail. It's a little sad that trains no longer cross the state, but repurposing train lines is really cool.

We had the best seats for Ridgewood 4th of July parade.

Such a great day. Thank you , Cox family!
