weekend trip to upstate ny

I may have been mistaken when in earlier posts I wrote that the best part of living in Connecticut was the beach and the proximity to New York City.  Now I know the ultimate BEST part - family.  Mark is from upstate NY and we are only a scenic and short 4 hour drive from them.  We were able to spend the weekend with them and are now looking forward to many more visits.
photo taken one hour before Jessica informed us "I'm not a road trip kind of person."

Mark loves to drive us around for a tour of his childhood.
due to remodeling, the house Mark grew up in is almost unrecognizable.
due to remodeling, this school Mark went to is almost unrecognizable.
Grabbed lunch to go at Sharkey's - a place where Mark has spent lots of time.  Quaint, dusty, and dark in the middle of the day,  this may be one of the few places from Mark's past untouched by change - or cleaning.


Spiedies, a local favorite - even warranting their own celebration aptly named "Spiedie Fest"
booster seats making my "cleaning" remark above totally relevant

Jessica's smile says it all
