Sandi and I headed up to Oswego, New York for Memorial Day weekend and a family wedding. My cousin Fred Vigeant and Michele were getting married. We were able to find a campground right on Lake Ontario just a few miles from the church.
Their recption was help at the ELKS Club and it was a wonderful event. Great family fun and food and a wonderful way to celebrate their wedding.
And here are the lovely Bride Michele and her husband Fred, who is looking more and more like his father every year.
Mom and DAS joined the fun but they decided to stay at a local hotel rather than join us at the campground.
Every night on the lake was a light show. the sunsets were wonderful. A shame to say we never saw a sunrise since we slept in late each morning.
Sandi and I are usually drawn to the ocean rather than large lakes and this was a very large one. Here is the light house at the port entrance to Oswego outside of Fort Ontario.
We were treated to a special day at the fort. The local Civil War Militia was set up on the parade grounds in the center of the fort. It was pretty exciting and loud and we pretty much had the whole fort to ourselves.
I did say loud right? From the second floor of the officers housing we could see and hear the canons firing.
From here we are looking down from the embankments onto the parade grounds. Behind the gun crews you can see the entrance to the fort and to the left of that the enlisted mens quarters.
