We left at 8 am on Wednesday and made our first stop in Marlborough, Massachusetts. Ro-man got his first experience with the McDonald's playground. After a brief stop there, we continued westward toward New York.
Our next stop was at Pine Lake, the Environmental Campus of Hartwick College, in Oneonta, New York. Dadda lived at Pine Lake when he was a student at Hartwick, and we spent a couple of hours wandering around visiting his old haunts. This photo is from The Meadow at Pine Lake.

We had dinner at the Neptune Diner in Oneonta, then proceeded through cow country north to I-90. We stopped for the night about 15 miles east of Rochester.
On Thursday we drove along Route 5 and visited Erie State Park. Ro-man got to put his feet in Lake Erie and enjoy his favorite snack.
He then enjoyed a nap while Mama and Dadda enjoyed the scenery in New York and Pennsylvania wine country.

We then took the interstate south and were in Poland, Ohio (near Youngstown) in time for dinner.
Great Nanna and Great Poppa were thrilled to see Ro-man walking all over and getting into everything. Their cats were not as pleased, however! Ro-man has been playing hide-and-seek with them since we arrived.
This morning we walked around the condo complex with Great Poppa and enjoyed lunch directed by Great Nanna. Everyone took a break for a nap after lunch, and we are expecting more fun and games this afternoon and evening. Ro-man and his entourage are planning to head east again on Saturday and hope to get home before dinner on Sunday.
