I'm / we're in! Jill has something going Saturday but should be able to join the reindeer games for the evening!

Dennis, did you do the math on the MINIs and the ferry? We don't need to be bobbing for MINIs on this outing!

OK all you Rochester / Weedsport folks--join us far-western NYers and come see the beauty of Chautauqua County!

"Off the Leash" idea:  Midway State Park:  http://nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/info.asp?parkID=183

Great memories of this as a kid.  Can't talk about my teen adventures here.
Wonderfull place to minimize.  Small, cute, and historic.

My favorites:  the slide, the train, and (of course) bumper cars.

"Off the Leash" Idea:  The Chautauqua Gorge:  http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/42257.html
My parents used to take us here when we were young.  At the time not many people knew about it, but that changed when the Post Journal ran a story about it.

"Off the Leash" Idea:  Panama Rocks:  http://www.panamarocks.com

The last time I went here was when I was 22 years old.  I drove my Datsun PU with about eight drunk passengers in the back and a motorcyle following.  Damn, I am lucky to be here still.

"Off the Leash" Idea:  Long Point State Park: http://nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/info.asp?parkID=3

Beautiful beach/great place to swim.
I once skipped school with three others in order to go here on bicycles.  Didn't even get busted.

Speaking of bicycles.  Load yours on top of (or behind) your MINI and join us!
Or you could bring or rent a boat.

My dad used to take us to long point park when we were little. Didn't there used to be some amusement park rides there?

Most likely it was just up the road at Midway.  Hope you are thinking  about coming.  I have a great "duck" related event idea for you.

I just scanned this 80's photo of my daughter to give you a little clue.

Sorry to hear about him.  I can relate, believe me.  You know how much it would mean to all involved to have your car-load with us.  If I can do anything to help let me know.  If you end up going, you can stay at our house on your way so that you can break up the trip.

Anyway we have over six weeks...so we will talk.
