Vacation 2016, Days 3 and 4

Day 3 was very uneventful.  We spent the entire day at the Resort.  Spent the first part of the day by the outdoor pool.  The second half was spent in the arcade (read that as kid Casino!).  We got to bed at a decent time so we could get on the road the next day.

Day 4 was mostly travel.  We had a light breakfast in the room and then packed to head out.  We stopped at a rest area that had a scenic view.

Very steep cliff down to the river bottom.

We got back on the road and soon we were on the highway through Cleveland.  First time that I seen this.



Heavy traffic through downtown and shortly after getting out of town we stopped and had a quick lunch at Burger King.  We got back on the road and Michelle took one of her famous vacation road trip maps.

Everyone but me missed this!

And this!


We were soon into New York and stopped at a Travel Center to stretch our legs.  We then headed for downtown Buffalo and did some walking around the center of town.  We spent around an hour downtown and then headed for dinner.

The town sqaure (really a circle)!

Stature of Grover Cleveland (very confusing that we find him in Buffalo?)

Incredible carvings everywhere!

Buffalo Fire Department Headquarters.

Beautiful Clock Tower!

It was time to eat so on a recommendation from a friend that lives in Buffalo we went to Duff''s for wings and such.  It was very good, just was expecting more.

Wednesday is Bike Night!

Full Moon when we were leaving.

So it was time to head for the border.  

Buffalo Skyline at night!

Oh Canada.

We crossed at the Peace Bridge and the border officer greeted us in French and after checking us out we were in Canada!  We were in our hotel around 9pm and started to settle in for the night.  We needed a good night rest for our adventure the next day!

Stay tuned.

End of Summer

The Best Time to Bike! On Saturday I traveled with Raymond to the Bear Claw Epic.  This was the second annual race and the second time up there for Raymond and I.  We got there with plenty of time to spare and got ready to go. Farley ready to go. I registered for Beginner Fat Bike or at least I thought so?  I felt pretty good and knowing that I only had one lap to do I went all out.  I passed several riders through the race and felt I did pretty good.  This course has a lot of climbing and rewards you with some nice downhills. After I finished my race I put on a fresh shirt and went out on the course with the camera and my new lens.  I took over 400 pictures and headed back to the start finish after Raymond finished his race. Raymond on his second lap. And the final climb. The beginner awards were going on and they announced my name as first place for Beginner Men 50-59.  I was surprised, but did not protest.  Aft...

January 27, 2012

It has been a while since an update and the common cold has been working its way through the family.  Michelle and the boys have got the worst of it so far.  It has slowed me down but has not put me down.  Hopefully it won't get me completely.  It did cause Michelle to miss 2 days of work and I missed one.  We both missed Financial Peace University last night, we will have to watch the video.  It has caused me to miss some training. However, I did manage to get on the trainer 2 days this week and hopefully again tomorrow. Dad had a procedure today and all was well.  Had to get up early and pick him up.  He had the procedure at Covenant so I was able to work for a while when he was in.  We went out to lunch afterwards and then had a good visit with him and mom. This winter continues to be mild as we again are having above normal temperatures.  We had snow last night and most of it melted today.  They are call...
