  Before lunch, we completed the chore of laundry.  After lunch, we took a tour around the town of Grafton.  Near the river bank was a fake lighthouse that was built as a memorial to a couple.  In the distance was the view of some beautiful white bluffs on the river's edge.

  Several of the buildings along main street were built in the mid to late 1800's.  One building that we found most interesting used to be the Grafton Bank.  It is now a gift shop.  This may be one of the smallest banks we have ever seen.

  After our walk, we sat by the pool and continued to enjoy the sunshine.  We walked a short distance to a nearby restaurant for dinner.  We enjoyed the sunset and the fire pit while Dan finished his after dinner cocktail.

glass fire pit - pretty cool


  Again we returned to the pool area, but, this time to enjoy the hot tub.  We had a great soak while gazing at the stars in the sky.
