Hanging Out on the Hudson


A good time was had by all hanging out over Labor Day Weekend with Uncle Jeff, Aunt Jen, Cousins Jack and Liam; Cousin Lidwin and her family, Jim, Jim and Matt; Jim's girlfriend Pam and their friends; and Uncle Steve. We got to see West Point from the water... a beautiful view... and spend time enjoying Bear Mountain, Newburgh, and Salisbury Mills, NY.

Among other things, the kids discovered just how much faster a jet ski can travel compared with a sailboat. They also caught lots of crabs and enjoyed their time with their NY cousins. See for yourself.

Post-travel note: Uncle Jeff recently shared with us that a barge filled with stone recent broke free from a barge and drifted into shore exactly where we were anchored the day we left the Hudson River Valley near Bear Mountain to begin our journey south to the Chesapeake.
Guess it really was time to leave!
