The next day we stopped in Saugerties (cute town) and walked to their lighthouse. Followed by a stop in Woodstock, ending at our rooms in an historic building in another cute Hudson Valley town.

Expat mom leaves Japan after nearly 4 yrs. to begin a new adventure living in New Jersey, then moves to NYC 7 yrs later. But then moves to Chicago.
Another beautiful day Sunday. We went downtown (on the train this time) and wound up at a concert on Navy Pier. The band was pretty good. Stopped at a Thai restaurant on the way home. Nice day out.
Gorgeous day Saturday, not as much smoke from Canadian wildfires. Walked from South Side to South Loop, skirted around edge of Lollapalooza security fencing and ended up at a Hawaiian restaurant. Got a car back home. 26,423 steps
