Kingston, NY...Sushi and a pool!!

A pool is a wonderful thing. I grew up with a pool and when given the opportunity I choose pool! Whether I swim in it, sit on the steps, or hang my toes in a pool I feel happy and COOL! It has been pretty hot the last week or so of our travels. I found out I sweat in places I've never noticed before....gross, I should know! So, finding a marina with a pool is a really huge bonus!! We docked at a very small marina and guess what???? A pool! Just what we needed (I was so excited about the pool I never took a photo)! We stayed at Rondout Marina (which is actually in Connelly, NY. A short dinghy ride across the creek we were in the small town of Kingston) and dove in the pool as soon as we arrived. Ben took Crocket for a dinghy ride while I lounged pool side a bit longer. We then showered and headed over to Kingston, in the dinghy, for dinner. We found an Irish pub with $1 tacos, then hit the local sushi restaurant and were pleasantly surprised with great food. Tummy's full and back in the dinghy for a bit of sightseeing.

Even though it was so hot, we still were in awe of the gorgeous scenery along the Hudson River! 

Cool down-east-style boat flying past us.

Ben really liked this old tug. It would be pretty grand to restore her.
