Visiting Pam & Don in Henderson Harbor, NY

Brockport Viking Apartments - lived there 41 years ago!

Snowbirds, Pam & Don Brandt, treated us like family

At The End of the Road on the Eastern Shore of Lake Ontario

Gorgeous view overlooking Lake Ontario from Pam & Don's back porch. Note the Inuksuk (rock man) that Don built!

Our Punta Gorda snowbird friends, Pam and Don Brandt, asked us to drop by their summer place the next time we were in New York State. Since we were only a few hours away, this seemed like the perfect opportunity. It was fun for me (Joanne) because I lived in Brockport, NY (which was on the way) over 41 years ago. I had not been to the area since then, so it was a trip down Memory Lane. I remembered the Genesee River and some of the Rochester area. I really enjoyed seeing Brockport. After all these years, I found the apartment building that we lived in so long ago.

We arrived at the CAMP as Pam and Don call it and it was great! They treated us like family - we enjoyed touring the 1000 Lake Region, hearing Lake Ontario waves right outside the window of the backyard, viewing Pam's fantastic garden, seeing Don's awesome boat that he restored after 13 years and hearing about their family and meeting their friends. We attended a wonderful 4th of July BBQ on Sunday at the Henderson Harbor Yacht Club and had dinner at a terrific restaurant. The 3 days went by very fast and before we knew it, it was time to catch our flights.
