Vacation - Part Three

Day 5: We drove up north to Washingtonville, New York for a tour and tasting at Brotherhood Winery, America's oldest winery. Brotherhood was established in 1839 and had some fascinating things to see in their underground cellars. Oh, and their wine tasted really good too! We all ended up buying some to bring home!











Day 6: Alan, Melissa, and Ethan went to Connecticut for the day to see Melissa's mom.

Day 7: Our last official day of vacation. We drove back up north to Bear Mountain State Park. We did a little more hiking and also tried to get some family pictures.













Our grand finale was Friday night. Dinner at our favorite restaurant - Cuban Pete's - to celebrate KuoHua and Melissa's birthday. KuoHua's birthday was today and Melissa's 30th birthday is next week! Here's a couple pictures of their cake and at the restaurant.





The week went WAY TOO FAST and unfortunately Alan and Melissa had to go back to Chicago. I guess they had to go back to work or something... =) But we had such a great time and Ethan and Carson LOVED each other's company. We are also very fortunate to get to spend another month and a half with Ryan's parents so there will be many more pictures and posts to come! Good night!
