Sam had a great time at Ithaca! Happy to have him home. Next week it’s off to check out Arcadia University.

Sam is off on his second college overnight tomorrow morning. He will wake up bright and early at 5am to head out to Ithaca College. Thanks to friends he has someone we personally know to hang out with. Although he thoroughly enjoyed staying with the XC team at Juanita and got a 4 mile run at 6:45 am out of it.

This was our first visit to Ithaca College last summer.  Sam drives there tomorrow for an accepted student day and overnight on his own.  Pretty Cool!

Got the confirmation for our Registration at the Wooden Boat School for Summer 2018. Sophie and I will learn to sail this summer and Sam and Andy will be camp cooks. No sleep ’till Brooklin !

View from top of Waldo-Hancock Bridge spanning Penobscot, River.  We cross this bridge to get to the Wooden Boat School in Brooklin, Maine.

Ok one last post, then I have to stop or the waterworks will begin. This is Sam 6 years ago when he started doing NHD. And Sophie when she ran her first XC race, not even in Middle School yet. Sophie will start on the Varsity XC team next year.
