year in review - finger lakes with the folks - mar 16

in march of this year, the folks, jessica, and i spent a week on keuka lake in the finger lakes region of new york. the weather was warm when it was sunny, but was overcast and wet for most of the week. a great time was had by all, though, with good food, outdoor activities when possible, and max-relaxin'. .
