On August 24-26, 2007, our journey took us to Upstate NY for the rest and relaxation. The weather was good through most of the weekend. It was hot on Saturday and very cool on Sunday. Saturday night we got to see a pretty amazing thunderstorm which ended up knocking out power in some areas (not ours). On Saturday we visited the Syracuse area and went to Chittenango Falls State Park. The park was beautiful and had a huge waterfall which Aidan was amazed by. We also met some locals and talked with them for a while. We loved hearing the stories they had to tell about the area. Then we made a drive to see if we could get a hotel near Lake Ontario for the night. Unfortunately, there weren’t any vacancies anywhere so we headed back east and ended up staying in Johnstown NY for the night.
On Sunday, we took in the sights and visited Saratoga Springs briefly. We also saw Saratoga Lake which was beautiful. We finished up the day by going to John Boyd Thacher State Park. We did some hiking, had a quick lunch, and headed to the playground so that Aidan could play play play! There weren’t too many people around so Aidan got to do whatever he wanted (as though he doesn’t get that already).
