For the longest time, I wanted to move to upstate New York.
We do go up to pumpkin pick in the fall, but really not upstate, while we travel an hour or so from NYC, upstate is considered further up, and we did that this past weekend.
One of my cousins got married in Hudson County, at a place called the Basilica, so we all headed up to there. Other cousins, my immediate family and everyone trekked up.
I took two planes from Miami. The smaller plane from Washington, DC to Albany was quite cramped. My carry on bag didn't fit! I had to cram it in.
The best part was the lake house one of my brothers arranged. It was something I had pictured in my head for a long time. And there it was in person.
It was very large, on a lot of acreage, on Lake Sleepy Hollow - not to get confused with the town of Sleepy Hollow, which is south of this place.
My cousins, my family and I enjoyed the area, only it's quite boring if there are no other people around. While I had always wanted to live up there, I think I need more civilization.
The wedding was beautiful and I met up with relatives who I hadn't seen since the last wedding a few years ago.
It was a memorable weekend. something I'll always remember. A few days later, we drove down to the city and I'm in NYC now for a small while.
