Some shots of our vacation spots

Newport, Rhode Island - July 19 to 22, 2010
Seaside Height, Nov. 12, 2011 (not a vacation but a one day trip)

2016 - Crozet Virgina - For my retirement we went "top of the world" rental house.  It's 1,300 ft above sea level overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains.
In Hope, NJ there is a place called "Land of Make Believe" by Rt 80. With rides for the little folk and things to do. In winter you can visit Santa's Workshop.

NYC tree

Someone decided to drag us to New York City.... after a long trip, with kids attached, we saw the Rockefeller tree.

Niagara Falls

My wife dragged me to Niagara Falls. Her father worked on the power plant there way back when. Nice place to visit and stay. This is a night shot of the falls off the observation deck.

Niagara Falls

Looking over to the "Other" side from the falls. Nice places to visit and walk around... Never got to go to that tower in the picture. It's some sort of shop.

Niagara Falls
Shot of the bridge to Canada. Daytime is nice too.

Thunderstorms

While at the movies (in PA, yes, we go out of state to go to the movies) a storm was brewing. I happened to have my camera.

You've seen the movie "Twister" haven't you?
