Between graduation ceremonies

On Sunday after a morning at leisure, Kathy and I attended church in Poughkeepsie NY then drove along the Hudson River. We stopped at the FDR presidential library in Hyde Park and took the elevator up to the Walkway Over The Hudson.

On Monday we drove to NYC and had lunch with Dave and Julie Colton who took time from their representation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the United Nations to take us to lunch followed by a walk across Central Park and a tour of the Old Masters of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. On the way out we stopped by the African Art collection at the Met where I compared our collection with theirs finding ours to be comparable. We checked into the Renaissance Hotel on Times Square, had dinner at Cielo, and saw an off-Broadway production of The Fantastiks which we enjoyed.

On Tuesday, after breakfast overlooking Times Square, we drove out of Manhattan into Connecticut, then took a ferry across Long Island Sound to Long Island. We drove through the Hamptons to Montauk, then ate dinner in Sag Harbor at Page 63, then took the ferries onto and off of Shelter Island and stayed at the Harborfront hotel in Greenport NY.

Wednesday morning we took the ferry back to CT, enjoyed Mystic eating lunch at the Engine Room and toured Newport Rhode Island, shopping and driving along Ocean Drive. We then drove up to Boston and checked into the Long Wharf Marriott.
