Memorial Day: Storm King

We've been wanting to go to Storm King since we moved here so when a rental car serendipitously fell in our lap on a 3-day weekend, it was our perfect chance. This place is sorta magical. It was nice weather, there aren't a lot of people bossing you around, you get to drive up the gorgeous Hudson Valley to get there, and it's so big/open/green. We wanted to ride bikes but there was only one baby wagon for rent and we kept barely missing it. We also wanted to just lay in the sun on a blanket and take a nap for a few hours in the peaceful open space but we have a baby now. No bother, we walked/trammed around and it was just as pleasant. Definitely going back again.

p.s. Has there ever been a better name for a mountain than Storm King?






























West Point from above


George Washington Bridge

Who's bossing you around? I'll handle them. Glad you guys got to go to this place. It looks marvelous!

I couldn't figure out what Storm King was until the end. Amusement park? Weather amusement park? And I hope you know what today is. Anxiously awaiting the ten month update. That's why I got on your blog first thing this morning. You've started something, Katie. Love and kisses to all of you.
