the BoatYard Grill in Ithaca on Tuesday.

This week Christine and family have been on a colleges-and-cousins tour across upstate New York. The itinerary gave Christine, a high school junior, a chance to see a wide variety of schools: small (Alfred and Skidmore), large (Syracuse, Cornell) and medium (Ithaca, New Paltz).

Visiting Julie's alma mater, Syracuse University.

Along the way, Christine and Andy (and their parents) got to spend time with their cousins' cousin Kathy at Ithaca College; cousin Vivien at Cornell; and cousin Liz at RPI. Here they pose in the lounge of Liz's sorority house.

On Thursday evening they got together with Aunt Pat for dinner out and a little visit at her home near Saratoga.
