Lake George, NY

Our weekend at Lake George, NY in the Adirondacks was wonderful! Friday and Saturday boating. Sunday mass and brunch. Couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Joe for the suggestion and thank you Dave for being an awesome tour guide/host.

There's no place like home

After enjoying a very needed vacation in beautiful New Jersey weather, we are back to good old Valdosta safe and sound. Leo's family is wonderful to us and many thank yous go out to all that made our trip special.
O and the girls opened their home to us once again and we couldn't ask for a more loving home away from home.
Each of the family gatherings (Crab Fest, Italian Fest, makeover night) and our vacations within a vacation (NYC & Lake George) left us all wanting to stay a little longer.
Joseph didn't want to come home and Leo's already thinking about our next trip North.
It's always bittersweet leaving New Jersey. We enjoy our home here in Valdosta and our friends and family, but miss the Jersey family greatly when we leave.

Thank you Lord for our loved ones, safe travels and all the blessings you have given us that brings us to this day.

Sunshine!

Funny how Joseph went from "Do I have to go?" to "Why is it over?"
