We’re enjoying our second set of visitors ~ FM’s parents. Now that we’re back in the states and it doesn’t take several time zones or crossing the international dateline to get to us, we’re hoping to have lots of visitors while we’re stationed here in the beautiful North Country.
FM’s parents are staying with us just one night since they brought their camper and are enjoying a campground about 45 minutes from where we live. They couldn’t have ordered better weather ~ all week, it’s been clear, sunny with the lows in the 50s and the highs in the 70s. Perfect weather!
One place we enjoy taking our guests is to the quaint and historic town of Sackets Harbor on Black River Bay and Lake Ontario. Madison Barracks, which is the original site of Ft. Drum, is located there as well as an important state battlefield from the War of 1812. The war was between the U.S. and the United Kingdom & its colonies (Canada & Bermuda). Later this month, on 29 September, there will be re-enactment at the site. I’ve never been to one of those so we may have to attend.
We seem to have gotten stuck on one restaurant in the town. It’s the Sackets Harbor Brewing Company and their food is delicious! We’ve been there four times now and the food is consistently good. The only warning they have on the menu is they take no responsibility for taste if you order your steak well done. 😉 We took FM’s parents last night and even his mom liked it which is saying a lot. This was FM’s meal:
I thought it looked a lot like something we might see on “Top Chef” ~ another favorite show of mine. We found out last night that Thursdays are “half priced” pints ~ like we really needed another excuse to go.
We’re going to be hard-pressed to try another restaurant in Sackets Harbor.
Patti it would be a nice way to spend your birthday at the re-enactment site.
The family look good.
