Synopsis: 120.2 miles driven; 2 hours on the road; Binghamton, NY to Cobleskill, NY; Visited Kirkwood River Park (25th High School Reunion) and Cobleskill (Grandma and Grandpa Friend)
First things first...today is Jedi's birthday and he turns 9 years old - Happy Birthday Jedi! Now all of our kids are odd...no, not like that! They are all odd ages - 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17.
We slept in this morning and took our time getting ready and out on the road from Uncle Scott and Aunt Weezie's house. They fixed us a GREAT breakfast and we watched Kung Fu Panda with them and their kids. We then left for Kirkwood, NY. This is where our class (CBCA Class of 1985) was having their family picnic as part of our reunion but before going to the park, we stopped by some of the houses on Main Street.
We found and got to see the church where Lisa's mom and dad were married, their first house (see picture), and the school that Lisa's dad went to when he was younger. After taking some pictures, we headed to the Kirkwood River Park for our class reunion picnic. Lisa and Kathleen were finishing the setup and most of our classmates arrived shortly after 11:00 am.
What a joy to spend some time with those that we had spent so much time with 25-30 years ago. As an added bonus, Mr. and Mrs. Ainsworth (our former principal) and Mrs. (Forrester) Maxwell (our former English and French teacher) were able to join us for the picnic. All told there 13 of us (plus spouses and children) that were there for the picnic. What a great class (apology to Cindy and Ann not visible in my picture) and what a great time we were able to share together.
After the picnic, we took the 90-100 minute drive north to Cobleskill to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Friend. We got to share some our adventure so far, the pictures we took earlier in the day and just spent some time riding an ATV with cousins. What a good day!
Hotel Deal of the Day: One night at Grandma and Grandpa Friend's house for $0 including time with cousins!
