New York, land of vineyards

We managed to make it to New York without an incident. We are getting much better at packing up and leaving. Our first time to pack up and leave took most of a day, now we are down to about 5 hours total. Western New York is beautiful. The countryside is quite picturesque. Farms, old houses, vineyards, fields of crops, and hills, or mountains to us Texans. I had no idea that New York state had such a pretty side over on the western part of the state. And to think we almost missed seeing it. Randy found out that we were just 2 1/2 hours away from Niagara Falls from our current campground in Ohio, so we made reservations through our RPI membership to stay at Niagara's Lazy Lakes. We didn't make record time, although I think record time won't happen for a while, maybe never while we are pulling the camper. The kids are all filled with excitement to see the falls, and to be honest, so are mommy and daddy. I never really thought I would actually make it up here. While we were at 1st Baptist of Jefferson Ohio, they had a few backgrounds on their projector screen. One of them was a picture of one of the falls. Randy leaned over and whispered to the boys that we were going to see the falls in a few days and the looks on their faces was priceless. They are quite excited about the prospect of seeing such a large waterfall. I can't wait to see what their response is really like.
Oh, and the couple who did most of our pickleball teaching are here at this campground too. They say that you are often running into people you meet at other preserves.
I will post more later- it seems most of blogging is done going down the road, the internet is usually pretty fast and I don't have to fight anyone for the computer. :-)
