Busy, busy day....started with waking up to RAIN.....that wasn't supposed to happen till this afternoon. Mark and I exercised, we all had breakfast and left at 9:15. Went 31 miles to Newburgh Saw some interesting sites along the way along with several neat lighthouses. But, first of all....here's our youngest grandson on his first day of kindergarten!

Skies cleared and it was a nice sunny afternoon. Lunch on Catrina and then Mark went to pick up a rental car and we were off to Hyde Park (22 miles) where we toured the Franklin Roosevelt home and Vanderbilt Mansion. Enjoyed both very much.
We had the most wonderful experience for dinner.....eating at the Culinary Institute of America where the aspiring chefs learn what it's all about to make their dreams come true of being a chef in some fine restaurant or owning their own place. It was top-notch and along with the food, ambiance and service, it all made for a very memorable evening.
