one can never be too old for a carousel ride!!
need a sugar high?! this is the right store for you
one of Paul & Heather's favorite rides
The next day, we rode our bikes and travelled down John's memory lane. :) We visited the town where he used to live when he was young. A small town called Blairstown, where Blair Academy is nicely nestled. John's father used to teach at the academy.
I was actually brave enough, and strong enough to hop on my bike & join everyone. I must say, John deliberately plotted our course ahead of time, to make sure it was the easiest & safest route for us. It feels great, and I'm so grateful to be healthy again!!!
John being a kid again! He said he used to go down this hill many times a day... and at full speed!!!
A hill in Blair Academy where John had many happy memories sledding down whenever it snowed. They called it back then, Suicide Hill. The picture does not do the hill justice, for it is very steep & dumps you right into a road. Happy to report that no one has gotten very badly hurt (especially John) when he was living there. And I know why they gave it such a name! :)
A natural spring. I tried capturing the bubbling of the water from the bottom.
It is clean & refreshing, and my family could not resist it. They all tried it, but I did not. I can never be too careful with my new mechanical heart valve, and all.

What a fun vacation/adventure/flashback to the past! Your little kiddies are no longer so little. And you are one strong woman!
WoW! I ahd no idea John had a connection to BLair. my biological parents attended there in the the 70s. It would be amazing if he knew them!
