july 4, 2008, in the morning

the baron and the husband (and everyone else) stayed at the husband's uncle's property, a lakeside pseudo-resort ('pseudo' because you have to bring your own bedding and groceries - there's no room service there - but in terms of a getaway, you'd be hard pressed to find a more beautiful and picturesque place than schroon lake). the dawn on july 4 broke shiny and bright, promising a sunny day ahead. see chamlar in the morning, above.

the baron, the husband, and tucker started their independence day off with a walk around town, an enterprise that took all of 20 minutes. they passed the grocery store, stewart's ice cream shop/gas station/convenience store, and a number of small restaurants, cafes, and antique shops that had recently sprung up on the town's main drag. some photos from their walk...


evidently they weren't the only ones out for a stroll that morning.

the husband and tucker paused for a photo.

the three returned to their cabin in search of breakfast and coffee, wondering when the other cabins' occupants would begin to stir. it turned out no one else got up for a long while, which was fine by them: for the moment, july 4 was theirs alone.
