We took our griswold family style vacation on the road to the Thousand Island region. Specifically Alexandria Bay. We stayed in a very nice state campground on nearby Wellesley Island.

Aside from the camping, we took a 2.5 hourlong boat tour of the Islands in this area which included "millionaires row" mansions built on islands in the late 1800s early 1900. The Crown Jewel of them all was Boldt Castle, built on Heart Island. long story short, construction was never completed and it was left for ruin until the mid 90's or so. see the long story here: boldt castle

Another highlight was the renting of the 14' aluminum fishing boat for a day. A far cry from the ol' Campbell, but we had a great time and I got to let someone else clean it up. Alex and I have some good fishing stories.

This is truly the album that is most like the old "here let me show you my vacation slides" trick.

enjoy!
