Every July 4th weekend, a big group of friends (including Kevin and I) meet up in Alexandria Bay for a weekend of rest and relaxation...without kids!!! I certainly missed the little ones, but it was a nice, relaxing weekend. 
This is our room that we get each year.
This is the view off our balcony...it overlooks Boldt Castle and the St. Lawrence (it's beautiful). (Each year they do fireworks over Boldt Castle, but this year the fireworks were on Sunday night because of a county law they couldn't do fireworks on Saturday...so, we missed them this year, oh well!)
Here is the group of 12 (this year) that met up in A. Bay. Kevin, Sara, Shannon, Kathy, Dale, Cindy, Chris, Paul, Stan, Allie, Gomer, and Tina.
We know most of them from previous vacations. Stan and Shannon are very good family friends of ours. We go together every year.
The weather was pretty darn cold (and rainy), but we made the best of it! We kept busy shopping and being goofy!
I made a friend at the jewelry store.
Pucker up rhino!

On the 4th, we rented a boat for the day. All 12 of us went. It was really fun, but really cold. We bundled up in blankets and hoodies and had a blast on the water!
Everyone get your life vests on!!!

After many hours out on the boat, we headed to our rooms for some 4th of July festivities (and pictures)!
Matching costumes and koozies: a must have for these ladies :)
Kevin even had some fun!!!
Ladies say cheese!!!

After a pretty early night on the 4th, we headed home. We wish we could have stayed longer, but I missed my babies! It was a wonderful trip and we plan to head back up to A. Bay next year (yippee!)
