people watching & a big floppy hat....

this past weekend we took a trip to alexandria bay.  beloved hadn't had the opportunity to see alexandria bay or boldts castle, and since we are leaving here VERY soon it was now or never.

so after a yummy breakfast we made the 30 minute drive farther upstate and was there in no time.
after driving around looking for a place to park...

we found one, fed the meter, and headed off.  as we walked through the crowds of people and weaved our way to the ferry, this is what we saw...

bikes and people and more bikes and more people.  apparently there was a bike run in alexandria bay...it was pretty cool.  there was music and food and t-shirts for sale, it rocked!

after drooling over the bikes we hopped on the ferry...

and while on the ferry i got some pretty cute shots of our little keiki in her floppy sun hat.  isn't she adorable????

anyhow we finally got to hart island...

and we had a blast!

after our boldts castle tour we headed back for some coffee...

and even though we walked around to people watch and shop, i still thought this was pretty adorable...

after daddy's cafe mocha and mama's soy chai tea latte we decided to play some chess...

and enjoy some window shopping...

before long we headed back and had a great dinner at texas roadhouse and finished the night off with a movie.  a perfect end to a perfect day wouldn't you say????
