Instead of just calling it "Dad's cabin" I have started calling it "Camp Casey". We spent the Fourth of July there and it was great! We enjoyed swimming in the FREEZING Esopus Creek. Sheldon was able to swim due to the fact that he had his new wet suit on. It worked great and he did not break out in hives. He was so happy to be swimming again. The water was quite high due to all the rain we've been getting, so the dock was not in yet, but we enjoyed the water anyway. We took one nice canoe ride down the creek and went on several bike rides up and down the road. The dogs enjoyed the nice long, flat street for their walks as well.
The puppies also enjoyed swimming in the creek, but Brownie did not like the noisy fireworks and firecrackers that were going off all weekend. She does not like those loud sounds for some reason. We did have a nice night for the fireworks at Cantine Field in Saugerties. It was a great 30 minute show!
We enjoyed our old favorite ice cream place "Jolly Cow" in Kingston so much that we went there twice! Rod enjoyed taking a little side trip to Gander Mountain right there in Kingston as well.
On the drive from Long Island to Saugerties we nearly lost the bikes from the back of the camper due the fact that one of the stops was missing and the bikes started sliding off. Thankfully Rod had secured them with a strap before we left, because that was really all that was holding the outermost bike on the rack. It took a long time to make the trip (4 hours) because we decided to take the NYS Thruway, and there was oodles of traffic and construction on that roadway. Oddly enought there was no traffic in the City...
Overall, this was a great start to our vacation!
