Tour Of Albany

The Grandparents came out for a visit this weekend, and we decided to take a tour of Albany. We started in the visitors center then took a ride on the Aqua Ducks, an amphibious vehicle that begins with a tour of the downtown area then takes you out for a ride on the Hudson River. Our guide was none other than Henry Hudson himself, looking pretty good for someone who's over 400 years old.
