New York Road Trip: Day 8

Woodstock, Rohde family in Niskayuna NY

We left New Jersey late morning on Saturday, July 5th and drove north to New York. Along the way, we stopped for lunch at the town called Woodstock, NY. Most everyone knows that Woodstock is famous for it's concert in 1969. This concert set the tone for an entire generation (ours) and goes down in history. Unfortunately for us, we never made it to that rainy event. We really didn't know what to expect in Woodstock. We were very pleasantly surprised by this now trendy, artsy, village that had wonderful shops and restaurants. We had lunch at "Joshua's" and it was a good one. Patty had the best falafel since Israel and the rest of us enjoyed ours as well. We strolled the streets, listened to a retro band play some Neil Young music, purchased a few items and then headed north for another hour and arrived at Allison & Cliff Rohde's house in Niskayuna, NY. We visited with them and their children, Ethan, Noah, and Gracie as well as with their Aunt Val Schultz. After a rib dinner, we went for a walk in their nearby park.
