Lake Skaneateles (Finger Lakes) & Bronk Home Visit

The 2 day visit to Tom's relatives was a highlight for all of us. What gracious and delightful people. The timing of the visit couldn't have been better. On the road for 10 days and temps hitting 100+ degrees with dripping-wet humidity. It was time for a layover day.

We were hosted to a couple great BBQs, went swimming in the lake, treated to a fantastic boat tour, and just lazing around for a couple days.

Thanks to Mary Beth, Jeff, Margaret and the rest of the family for hosting us. It was great to meet you and really enjoyed the talks and fun times. Indulging in the gracious lifestyle of Lake "Skinny-atlas" for a couple days was just what the doctor ordered.

Jeff took us on a boat ride around the Lake

Time to hop in!

Lake Skaneateles, one of the Finger Lakes, is surrounded by upscale homes. The boathouses were particularly cool.

I could live here!

Look like a giant dollhouse

Even the church has a lake-front view

A magnificent new compound with matching boathouse

Jeff, in the middle, gave us a running narrative of the people and history of the Lake

Tough life, heh guys?!

It doesn't get much better than this . . .
