Happy Anniversary to us!
Two farm kids from northern IL went on a 4-H Exchange trip to Rochester, Minnesota in July, 1965. He asked her to dance to "Hey Mr. Tambourine Man" by The Byrds. Four years later they married, had 4 awesome kids and 8 awesome grandkids. And never had a clue they would become nomads? We are so blessed!!! Never a dull moment with this guy!
Today started out sunny, then cloudy with a little rain shower but overall, HOT and Steamy. 94. We left Seneca Falls around 9, stopped in Auburn for coffee/scone at Simple Roast and onto Brewerton. We stopped at Oneida Shores campground to make sure our site was available as check-in is at 3, but #52 was empty so we were good to go. Then to Winter Harbor, got Flo and Big Red, said good bye to these fine folks where we've had great storage for Flo, Big Red and Catrina for the past 4 years.
Settled in at the campground and off to meet our friend, Mike (former boater we met at EssKay 2 years ago). We had lunch at The Copper Top Tavern and a wonderful visit - Mike is just the nicest guy (originally from Greece and so fun to catch up on his family, what he's been doing, how Covid has impacted so many things, etc. etc.) He now spends the winters in St. Pete and we hope to get together there and Fort Myers in 2022. Mike and I had their grilled cheese BLT and Mark had the fish and chips.
Mike followed us back to EssKay to tell Kim, Ethan and Tammy good bye - a bittersweet time as so many memories of these folks, fun times at EssKay and Brewerton. Mike will see them from time to time, but no idea if/when we'll be back in this area. We first met these folks back in 2011 when we were doing the Loop.
