My Cousin Timothy Tong will be leaving on Tuesday to go to US ARMY basic training at Fort Benning in Georgia. As a little send off for him, Rich and I had him over to our place in Hastings. Rich took Timothy to Yankee Stadium on Thursday night to see the Yanks play the D'Rays. (The Yanks lost 6-4).
On Friday, we took a 12 mile canoe trip on the Deleware river. We rented canoes from Kittatinny Canoes, in Dingman's Ferry, PA. It was a hot sunny day and the river was a little slow. But we had fun paddling along and taking in the sun.
Friday night, we ate a nice dinner at Blu. We sat on the outside porch which faces the Hudson River. Timothy had steak, Rich ate a pork chop and I had linguine with shrimp. I was happy to see Timothy eating a good meal as God knows what they will feed him in basic training. As we finished our meal, we watched the sun set over the Palisades Cliffs.
Anyways, it was a nice send off for him. We wish him the best of luck and much success at basic training and beyond !
