This is what she ate for breakfast; half the waffle (of waffle maker at breakfast buffet), one hard-boiled egg, 3/4 container of vanilla yogurt, a small cup of apple juice AND a half cup of milk, and 1/4 of a small apple. Phew.
Today was a day for a long drive. From Toronto past Kingston, back to USA, to today's hotel at Cobleskill, NY. We started at 8:30.
The weather was not so good. Rained on and off all the way. We took turns on driving, long driving on highway.
Lunch; Cracker and Barrel (again) at Waterton, NY. Tuesday's lunch special (meatloaf and mushed potato), sugar-cured ham, fried chicken tenders (again) with green beans, turnip greens, carrots and corn for sides We chose almost the same vegetables for sides. They are just great.
And on highway again. Except for the weather, it was like the day 5 and 6 mix-and-match. My daughter could catch up a lot of sleep.
I fell asleep after my husband took the steering at Oneida Service center. (Oh, I noticed the sign was "Service Centre" in Canada.) When I woke up, he was making a left turn into a local street, under the sign that says "Cooperstown" with arrow pointing to the right. I remembered that we have a reservation at a hotel in the town located about 40 minutes from Cooperstown, because the hotel in Cooperstown was ridiculously expensive. We drove through the hilly farms to get the lovely town of Cobleskill. The car was very low on gas, so it was a big relief to find a gas station after 5 minutes of looking-around-being-worried-what-if-this-town-doesn't-have-any-gas-station kind of driving.
Hotel; Best Western Inn of Cobleskill
As soon as you enter the front door, you smell pool. My daughter was so excited. Good thing we arrived before 5:00. She went to pool with Dad, and I knit a little at pool side.
Dinner; BW Delaney's (restaurant in the hotel) Pot roast and mashed potato, Chicken Bruchetta pasta, Fish and Chips, Cheesecake and icecream for deserts.
My husband has a soft spot on Pot roast. He just loves it. The best one he had was at a diner in Port Lavaca, TX. He says mine comes the second (but far behind), and today's was the third best.
After the dinner, my husband found a nearby playground and took the activity-depleted little Japanese girl there. I went back to the room early, and read the e-mail from my knitting friend, Cynthia. I was so happy that I got one yarn (Handmaiden) from her recommendation.
Tomorrow, we will visit the main purpose of this trip. I am feeling sad from time to time since yesterday. Tomorrow is practically the last day.
2 days in America
