About 7 years ago I set off on an adventure. A 1000 mile trip by car with my 3 year old grandson Alexander. I wanted to visit my folks in NY and my wife couldn't get the time off. Not wanting to be alone for 2 days I was trying to get either my son or daughter to make the trip with me. Couldn't do it. But Alex said he wanted to go on an adventure. So Alex and I made the trip. It was great, we had a ball. 51 year old grandpa and 3 year old grandson. We stopped at Niagara on the way and rode the Maid of the Mist. Alex still remembers and talks about it.
Well, Alex lives in Virginia now. His dad works in Washington, D.C. I am going to visit my folks again in a couple weeks. They live in Vail Mills, NY, just a mile or so from Broadalbin, NY - now I'm sure I've got you zeroed in. Well, after a few days there I am going to drop down the Washington and pick up Alex. School will be out, Grandma wants to see him and I kind of like the kid myself so I guess we'll have another adventure.
I don't know what we'll do, maybe just drive for two days. But you never know - we may have to stop and look at the world's largest ball of string or something as exciting. Whatdoyasay Alex, ready for another adventure?

I'll bet Alex is up for the trip. Grandkids are fun. You've a nice blog here. I liked the flower photo's.

Alex doesn't know yet. I think we'll wait until after school to tell him today. Tai will want to see his face, too. :)

Ok, so I couldn't wait to tell him. LOL
Hey, we'll be out that way soon (arriving in Albany the night of June 11th.) Any chance you'll still be around? It would be fun to meet up (and of course to meet the new, grown-up Alex!)
