Great weekend in Syracuse, shopping, dinners, and nice visits with both Mary and Margaret. We arrived in NY at about 4pm and headed straight to our appointment with Tony Sr.'s money manager. We learned a lot and have some things to think about in terms of our long term savings plan. Unfortunately our meeting lasted about an hour and Tony's parents were left sitting in the car waiting for us. We felt so bad! We immediately headed to dinner at Drummlands (sp?).
The meal was absolutely fabulous. Great salad bar, and terrific dinner! I had the special, chicken piccata - perfectly cooked with just the right amount of lemon and capers. Tony had the sauteed haddock with steamed spinach on top and a drizzel of alfredo sauce, wow! Tony Sr. had the fried Haddock dinner and Liz Sr. had the fried fish sandwich, both looked marvoulous. We ended the meal with a slice of coconut cream pie and four forks.
Saturday Liz Sr. and I did some shopping, Macy's, Smart Duck, Wegmans and a nice lunch at Panera's; My new favorite lunch place. Tony headed out with his dad to the Train show and they had a yummy lunch of a Italian sausage sandwich with onions and peppers. I had a wonderful walk in the afternoon and enjoyed the perfect fall weather. T the end of the day Margaret and family come over for dinner and I so enjoyed talking with them and the kids. The kids are so grownup and SMART!!! I just love to hear their thoughts on the election and I am so glad they are engaged....even if I don't necessarily agree with them. Kate is working so hard applying for college and I just know she will find the right school for her! Ryan looks good and seems to be healing so well after his knee surgery. Of course the little girls are not so little anymore. They are full fledged young ladies and delighful to talk to! We did touch on politics at dinner and everyone was respectful even though we have our differences.
Here are some pictures of us on Sunday before we left for heading out to see TJ for lunch. Mary came out to the airport to say hi and we visited for about 30 minutes.
