Family Travel

Our son, Robert, and his wife, Kristen, enjoy travel adventures and are teaching their children to appreciate them, also. This year they wanted to see not only New York City, but also some other areas of the state. After investigating airline fares, they decided to have a real plane, train, automobile experience. They flew to Buffalo and in the following days traveled across the state to NYC. To this mother’s delight, they documented this trip each day on a blog, Family Matters. It has been great fun to follow their itinerary in this way and to imagine what Annaka and Jack might be saying. This kind of real time postcard truly says “wish you were here.” I can’t wait to hear their commentary on the sights and experiences. Accolades to Rob and Kristen for choosing many kid-friendly places too visit.

One of the last destinations for these Osbornes was to visit the Dickson family farm in Verbank. This is the farm that was established by Annaka and Jack’s great-great-great grandfather. I, too, have wonderful childhood memories of visits to this special place and am glad that they had the opportunity to play where many of their ancestors have worked and lived. What a rich and wonderful vacation they have had!
