THE TRIP TO WINDHAM

During our winter roadtrip, we made our way up to Windham Mountain (in the Catskills) in Upstate, NY. This was our snow tubing day. Here are the photos from that trip.

PHILADELPHIA

On December 30th, we left New York and made our way south toward Phil's sister's home in Delaware. On the way, we stopped in Philadelphia to see the sites. Unfortunately, it started to rain while Cindy, Tiffany and Crystal were viewing the Liberty Bell. In order to see the city and stay warm and dry, we took a horse-drawn carriage ride. The last photo includes Mickey, who was kind enough to pull us through the city through the cold and (sometimes freezing) rain.

NEW YEAR'S IN HOCKESSIN

We spent New Year's Eve with Phil's sister and her family in Hockessin, Delaware. Phil's surprised us by driving down from New York to bring in the New Year with us. Here are pictures from that day and New Year's Day morning.

Phil and his nephews, Joe and Rob, visited Bill's brother at the Shrine Of Our Lady Of Czestochowa on the morning of December 31st. They rolled down the windows of the minivan, cranked up Keith Richards' "Take It So Hard" and drank a toast to Bill a few days before what would have been his 56th birthday (January 3).

SOUTH OF THE BORDER & SAVANNAH

On our way home we made the stereotypical tourist stop at South Of The Border, in South Carolina. We spent the evening of January 1 in Savannah, Georgia. The plan had been to visit Savannah on the morning of January 2 (we actually did drive into town) but the biting wind (35 degrees/30 MPH winds) kept us from touring the city.
