We decided to make a list of experiences we want to achieve as a family this summer, sort of like a summer bucket list. My first pick was kayaking on the Hudson.
I booked us a kayaking tour on the Hudson valley and that’s what we are doing on this gorgeous summer morning. We began our adventure kayaking south under Storm King Mountain before crossing the Hudson River to the base of Breakneck Ridge on the Eastern bank. This was a long stretch of constant paddling which took about 30 mins until we crossed the river. Then we paddled North to Pollepel Island. When we got to the island, the kayak guide shared history of the castle as we paddle around, viewing the ruins from the water-level perspective.
This was a lot of fun and really exhausting. I was amazed how strong Chloe was. She had no problem keeping her pace with everyone and she was the only teenager on a single kayak.
