What a great day Saturday, July 2, was! Andrew and Becky, with Alexa and Rylie and their two dogs, Abe and Tuna, were en route to our place on Lake Winnepesaukee – Rattlesnake Island. Anyone who knows Andrew knows this is a place so dear to his heart. It’s been in his Dad’s family for years. As a kid, Andrew spent his summers there, and now he and Becky and their two daughters vacation there as often as they can.

They usually make the trek from Arizona to New Hampshire (with stops along the way) but this year they spent a couple of weeks at our home in Boca Raton. The girls went to surf school in Deerfield Beach and loved it.

One nice thing about doing the Loop, is having others enjoy our place while we are away – and look after the homestead.

They then drove from Florida to New Hampshire, and made a stop to see Grampy and Nana at Half Moon Bay Marina as they were driving through New York. That was very special – we know Andrew was chomping at the bit to make it to the lake! Thank you, Becky and Andrew, for the visit – we loved it, we love you!

It’s been some time since Patrick and I have missed a summer visit to the lake. Time at the lake is Patrick’s first love. The boat his second! We know Andrew and Becky and Katherine and their family and friends will hold down the fort, and enjoy being there without Grampy and Nana!

Here are more photos from their visit and from our stay at Half Moon Bay Marina at Croton-on-Hudson.
