The afternoon's doings
It was a beautiful afternoon, so we drove over to Lambertville to have a nice lunch and enjoy the afternoon walking around by the river.
For those of you who do not know, Lambertville is just across the Delaware River from New Hope, Pennsylvania. Both are quaint little colonial-era towns with no end of restaurants, absurd little shops that would not survive in a normal commercial environment, and old buildings of mild historical significance. All in all, not a bad way to spend a beautiful Saturday.
We had lunch at Lambertville Station Pub, which is a much better bar than restaurant notwithstanding its pretensions to quality (do not order anything fried unless you like it soggy rather than crisp). The setting is great, what with the abandoned tracks and the close proximity to the Delaware and Raritan Canal. The cyclists who travel that route (perhaps all the way from Princeton) can park their bikes in a rack by the restaurant and grab a frosty brew (the sad downside being too many middle-aged people who believe they look acceptable in skin-tight cycling gear).
The TH Teenager wore the team colors...
...and then we crossed the bridge to New Hope...
Tomorrow will be a day of chores, plus the much-anticipated return of the TH Daughter from a month at the Robin Hood Camp in Maine. We are excited that she will be coming home, and can hardly wait to hear the latest news from the world of style as relayed to her by her swanky Manhattan and Connecticut friends.

Nice road/bridge photo, although, I am in a 'grumpy about our infrastructure' mood after seeing the socialist opening ceremony extravaganza of the Beijing Olympics. Yes, yes, I know, socialist spectacle based on 40 billion dollars worth of show. Still, could we waste some of *our* money on new roads?
*Anyway, nice pictures, nice family, and sorry for the grumpy, idiosyncratic comment :)
