In August we visited our favorite vacation spot again - Old Forge, NY. It was great - as usual. It was extra fun this year because Sienna could enjoy it. She knew to stay away from the lake (this didn't keep us from panicking occasionally) and we loved our new oversized dock that was build last fall.
After our week in Old Forge, Sienna, Pop Pop and I scooted over to North Fork, on Long Island in NY to spend time with the other side of the family. (We dropped Daniel off in Massachuetts to spend the week with his friend who was getting married in a week. Daniel was one of two " best men" so he was on wedding party duty.) So off we went to Long Island. North Fork has great fresh produce, delicious fruit pies and wineries. Wineries everywhere. So we packed lunches some afternoons and had a picnic at one of the wineries. Sienna was in heaven. We had egg salad, crackers, cheese, grapes - my picky-eater's favorites. And she got to eat it all outside. She could have stayed there all day.
We also visted Aldo's coffee shop in Greenport NY. The coffee is SOOO good. My Aunt T and I took Sienna there, and I asked Mr. Aldo if he had any chocolate milk for the little one. He made this warm chocolate especially for Sienna...
I think she liked it.
We came back a few days later and I thought to bring a bib this time...
So we sipped coffee/chocolate, lunched at the wineries, went to the beach, and stopped to smell the flowers...it was a good week :)
Just to make things a little bit crazier, Sienna and I dropped off Pop Pop on the train and we went BACK up to Massachusetts for the wedding.
For those of you who were at our wedding, you may remember our friend Chris...he was the one wearing a black top hat and a silver Yankees necklace? (Yes, with our permission.) Here is a pic of his wedding day - our friends Chris & Stephanie on their wedding day. It was tricky getting there for their wedding day but we were so glad we could be there.
