The McCarthy's: Edmeston

So we had a great time in Edmeston. If you don't know where that it, it is in the middle of New York state, about ah hour and a half southeast of Syracuse. It takes about a full day of travel to get there. We left the house around 8 to get to the airport for our flight at 10:50. We flew to Newark NJ and had baout an hour or so layover. When we got to Newark we went to the gate that they had said on the ticket, but when we got there the lady told us the had changed it. So we had to go out back through security and into a different part of the terminal. However, when we went back through security the metal detector did not like Russell. He went through it about 3 times before they pulled him aside to give him the full pat down. Apparently it was the little rivets on his jeans. I was laughing, but it was jsut weird since we had literally been through security twice already and once just 5 minutes before. Another thing about the Newark airport is apparently it does not have airconditioner- so it was toasty waiting for the plane, which was of course delayed. We got to Syracuse about 45 minutes late, and then the GPS definitely took us the back way there. But we made it a little before 9 pm.

Edmeston is about 30 minutes from Cooperstown so we went to the Baseball Hall of Fame on Friday. Cooperstown isn't much bigger than Edmeston, but has a lot more baseball memorabilia shops. lol. On Saturday Russell's aunt and uncle came down from Utica (I think) and had lunch. His grandpa ordered a lasagna and when he brought it home it was enough to feed probably 20 people, it wouldn't even fit in the oven. So we had to do a little lasagna transplant into smaller pans. Russell's Grandpa has a 1929 Ford Model T. So Russell got to drive that around for a bit. I didn't since I dont' know how to drive a standard (reason number 9283 that Russell should have taught me a long time ago). Doug, Russell's uncle, has an old Mustang (not sure of the year) and they went out in that, but it wasn't running that well.

Our flight again was at 10, and so we had to leave around 7 to get back to the airport in time. This time we took the more direct route that we should have used when we came. We had a great time with his grandparents and can't wait to go back soon. We had a 4 hour layover in Cleveland, very boring-lol. But we finally made it home around 6ish, in time to see the Ags lose in over time (heartbreaker).
