Is there a decent beach near Rochester?

As shocking as this may sound, we had a great day at the beach about 45 minutes east of Rochester in Sodus, NY! The weather was great, the water was comfortable and it wasn't crowded at all. In fact, there was plenty of room to spread out, play catch or build a sand castle. The other kid in the shot is Alex's pal Alana.

The only down-side was that there was quite a bit of seaweed all over when you got out of the water and the little foot shower wasn't really doing the job. A bit on the yucky side, but not a show stopper.

Here's a link the the rest of the shots.

I Was Wrong!

All this time I thought that there was a NYS law that stated that no child under 12 years old could sit in the front seat of a car... well I did the research and the truth is the following:

Are children required by law to sit in the back seat?

Although New York does not have a law preventing children from sitting in the front seat, it is highly recommended that all children age 12 and under ride properly restrained in the back seat. Researchers estimate that just by putting a child in the back seat instead of the front seat reduces the chance of injury and death by more than 30%.

Taughannock Falls - Ithaca, NY

The girls and I took a day trip to beautiful Ithaca NY to see Taughannock Falls. It was really breathtaking and almost shocking to see we have such beauty right in our own back yard. I'd say it's as nice as Letchworth, if not nicer!

Happy 4th of July!

Carrie and Alex are heading to Chicago to visit Corinna, Rodrigo and the kiddies so it will just be daddy and Sammy hangin out for the next three days! Yippee!!!

We'll probably go to some 4th of July Carnival, but I'm not sure where yet. Don't know if Sam is going to be able to stay up for fireworks or not, but we may give it a shot.

Be safe. Have fun!
