Vacation time is winding down...

We're one night away from being home from our vacation. Staying at a beautiful campground in Verona, NY. It's associated with a casino called Turning Stone. We went to the casino and had our dinner there. Did not spend any cash at the casino itself! For the first time this vacation, I had a swimsuit on and went in the pool. While there I spent over an hr. talking with a very nice woman who had pulled into the campground at same time as we did. They are from Nevada and own over 580 acres on a ranch. They are driving a large diesel pusher like my brother owns. Traveling for about 3months and going up through east side of Canada. Really enjoyed talking with her. Why is it that you meet the nicest people on your last day? May give her my email address to keep in touch. They also use laptop to communicate with family. Got to the campsite at about 3 p.m. Such a beautiful campground, no tents allowed. A nice pull through site with the luxury of 99 cable channels and wireless internet service. Life is good.

Hard to remember everything we did while on the Cape. Especially since I didn't blog daily. We had an early 85th birthday party for my father. It was done early to coincide with us being on the Cape. There was so much food there. Lobsters galore. We treated my father like a King. There was about 45 guests there.

Tim went whale watching one day with my sister and saw tons of whales. He really enjoyed that. She packed a nice picnic lunch for the two of them. He's looking forward to doing that trip again. He said it was funny when the whale watcher would stand up top of the boat, tell everyone the location of the sightings, and then all the people would go to that side of the boat and make it lean over.

Barry's cousin Tim and his wife Amy came to see us for two days. A shorter trip for them to see us on the Cape then in Pennsylvania. We were able to go out to with them for a couple of meals. It was great seeing them. The weather was not in agreement, so we were not able to ride the canal with them.

The time went by much too quickly. Did not do all that we had wanted to do, not enough time. But we did spend time with family which was a priority for us. I am certainly going to have to get back to the track for some laps. Had lots of seafood, could have had more ice cream! Didn't make it to Partee Freeze. Next time!

Tomorrow we leave here and head home. Til then....
