Yes, we did have to eventually return from vacation. As we got on the plane from Syracuse we all said good-bye to 75 degrees with tears in our eyes. Truly this was one of the best vacations we've ever had. Loved it!!!!!!! Read a lot...if you like historical fiction check out World Without End by Ken Follett. It is the sequal to his book about building a medieval cathedral - Pillars of the Earth. It was over 1000 pages which for someone who reads at lightening speeds was wonderful. Also read a couple brainless chick books by Jennifer Crusie. Seriously brainless. Went to Niagara Falls and The Baseball Hall of Fame. Met some really nice people. Yankees really aren't all that bad. We toured William Seward's house in Albany New York. He was sec of State during the civil war and was responsible for the U.S. buying Alaska - Commonly known then as Seward's Folly. Amazing piece of history in his home. We also saw Harriet Tubman's grave and her home. That was a little sad. As much as little girl's do reports on Harriet Tubman when they are in 3-5th grade, her home is a pretty pathetically preserved place. The museum that goes with it looks like it was collected from all those 3-5th grade reports. I wonder if Oprah is aware of this????? Ate A LOT of good food including ridiculous amounts of ice cream at a little drive in right on the lake. Because of the previous, I ran a lot and on hills. Can I go back now please??????

I DO recognize the area you were in. I DON'T recognize your daughters - they're so grown-up!!! It's fun to hear from you!
Looks like a great vacation, Magan. We took our crew to the baseball hall of fame one year--pretty neat! And we loved the town, too.
