A brief visit with Nona and Papa

A trip to Albany means fun with Nona and Papa (and yard to lounge in for Switzerland)!
Sam was treated to some of Stewart's finest cold dairy products (ice cream), and on a related note, Nona got to experience the after effects of a sugar rush (Sam went a little berserk; grabbing and squeezing her head for a minute or two).
The following day, Nona guided Sam towards one of the Capital District's child-friendly gems, Hoffman's Playland.  Sam had a blast riding the merry-go-round, boats, a fire engine, a train, and a helicopter.  A perfect amount of excitement before a 3 hour road trip to Ithaca.

 This angle makes it look a bit more intense than it was, but Sam enjoyed the ride regardless.
