October Trips

The last three weekends I have been able to leave the city which is something that almost never happens so I was very excited about it! The first weekend I went up to my friend Anna's Family's house on Grindstone Island, one of the Thousand Islands in the St. Lawrence River. There is no bridge to the island and no roads on the island so the only way to get around is by boat! On Sunday we took a boat ride in a crazy old wooden power boat and we scooted around some of the Canadian islands, going into Canada for an hour or so.

Here is the crazy house we stayed in, it had at least 5 bedrooms and a giant room upstairs with 8 beds in it!


Here we are on the Sunday boat ride and then the view of one of the side houses down the island:


The following weekend I went up to Rhode Island with my friends Eric, Anastasia and Rachel to Eric's uncle's house to do a big apple cider pressing. We went up a day early to explore Rhode Island a little and to explore some thrift stores:


Then last weekend I drove up to my friend Naomi's grandma's house near Ellenville, NY for her birthday. We spent a long time walking around in the woods looking for a swimming spot but never found it! I forgot to take any pictures except for this one of her in the house on the phone:
