Windham, NY Ski Trip
February 2007

We arrived in Newark, NJ on Friday, Feb 16, rented a car and drove into Manhattan. Cecily was supposed to have an official college visit at NYU, but our flight was rescheduled and we arrived much later than was originally planned. She didn't get her planned tour, but we got a security guard to sign some NYU letter head, making her visit official! We met up with Jacob, had some cheap NYC pizza, then drove up to Windham. The drive was supposed to take 2.5 hours. It seemed to take that long to get out of Manhattan! We took the New York State Throughway North to Windham. Being a Friday evening on a holiday weekend, it was very congested. Our 2.5 trip was closer to 4 hours. We skiied Saturday and Sunday, then toured Howe Caverns and went snow tubing on Monday. Monday evening we drove Jacob to Poughkeepsie, NY to catch the train back into NYC. We left the next morning for home. It was another long travel day due to another Airtrans schedule change, but we made it. All in all it was a very nice trip.

3:01 PM		 Peter, his roommate Brian and Brian's girlfriend Kira drove up from Gettysburg College to join us on Saturday. Brian chose to snowboard in jeans despite encouragement from everyone else to wear something waterproof (it was his first time after all). Brian refused and I guess he made his point, although none of us (including Brian) seems to know what the point was.

Sarah and Linde taking a hot chocolate break. It was in the low teens and windy outside. The hot chocolate was especially good.

10:32 PM		 On the third and final full day of our trip we visited Howe Caverns. It was 52 degrees in the cavern. Felt quite nice compared to the -3 that we woke to that day. They call the rock in the center of this picture Godzilla. See if you can tell why.
