Final days

We have not added to the blog in a few days so let me bring you up to date.  Sunday was a great day!  The weather was perfect (mid 70s) and the colors were still at their peak.  It was wonderful that Kathleen could see the trees and the mountains with us.  While she does have a very nice park near her apartment, I think this was better.   We were able to watch the Packer game in the campsite before making dinner on the camp stove.  We had a fire and made s'mores before going into the clam to watch a Hallmark movie, "An Autumn Kiss".  Spoiler alert: the young widower and the nanny, who the kids love, do get together in the end.

But alas, all good things must come to an end.  We drove Kathleen to Albany so she could catch the train back to NYC and made a brief stop at the Schuyler Mansion (Hamilton).  Cathy and I continued on our way.  We spent the night in Erie, PA and made it home the next day.

We are truly grateful.  The trip was wonderful.  The camper, the car and the new clam all performed better than expected.  We only had rain three times in 17 days.  We'll be setting up the camper and clam in GB to let them dry out.

So after 17 days, the creation of countless memories, almost 3500 miles, having survived the traffic in Newark and Chicago, we are home feeling blessed.  Thanks for letting us share this journey with you.
