New York Scenes, Part 2

New York Scenes, Part 1

 

Returning to Brooklyn: On the Brooklyn Bridge, 1975

I was born and spent my early years in Brooklyn Heights, and this is a family photo taken by my dad from about 1975 as we took a break from walking across the Brooklyn Bridge (I am in the pigtails in the center).  My older sister and I were obviously not too happy with the outing!  Jeff and I just took our boys back to see my old haunts this past weekend,,,,, I believe I now have a similar photo of my younger son whining on a similar bench on the bridge!

A Thanksgiving Holiday in Williamsburg

While the highlight of the holiday had to be Jeff's chance to work in the Colonial Williamsburg blacksmith's shop, we also enjoyed the holiday decorations, a lovely rental house that was not in Williamsburg but could have been because it was so period-correct, Rev Quest (the spy game), and York River State Park.

Xander discovered that every fence hides something amazing, like sheep!

On Holiday

We had a lovely time exploring southwest Virginia at Hungry Mother State Park, Grayson Highlands State Park, the Appalachian Trail, and the Creeper bike trail.
