Easter Weekend

This past weekend, my family (sans Aunt Al) came up for Easter.  We had oodles of fun and Aunt Andi captured some great pictures (because the rest of of never take any).

On Friday, after stopping at the outlets, I met them at one of my favorite North Country (really Finger Lakes) spots, Three Brothers Winery in Hector, NY.  We had lots of fun tasting ALL the yummy wines and Poppy one of us got a little tipsy.

On Saturday, we took a scenic driving tour of the North Country since Uncle Adam has never been here.  Our first stop was at Westcott State Park where we hopped out to check out the beach of Lake Ontario.

Next, we headed to Sackets Harbor for lunch at Goodfellos.  Aunt Andi had a ball holding Elliott at lunch.  It should also be noted that the sweater he is wearing is one of Jeff's from babyhood.  Everyone was quite impressed that Grandma Becky kept it so pristine for all of these years.  Uncle Adam even had to check the label because he thought I was fibbing. 

After our delicious lunch, we jetted up to Cape Vincent to see the Tibbetts Point Lighthouse.  It was a pretty day, but SUPER cold and WINDY.  Elliott loved looking out into the water!

Next, we headed to Clayton where we enjoyed some of my favorite wine (and some mulled wine) at Coyote Moon and then took another picture in front of the little lighthouse like we did when Elliott was just a few days old!

For our final stop of the day, we headed to Alexandria Bay where we saw lovely views of the Boldt  Castle and where Elliott had the time of his life playing in the playground.  

On Easter, we found that the Easter Bunny and Grandma Becky and Grandpa Ken and Emmie and Aunt Al had all brought Easter Baskets for Little Man.  He had lots of fun digging through and finding surprises.

Next, we all dyed eggs.

 Then, after a quick swim at the hotel pool, we enjoyed an Easter feast.

The little Ham did too!

Thanks, family, for a fun weekend!  Hope you all had a great Easter too!
