:::
Grinning wide, Casey finally put his camera down. „This is the best Christmas gift ever,“ he said. „The landscape along this route is breathtaking."
„So, you like it?" Zeke smiled back at him, feeling almost high. He hadn't hoped for it that his idea of surprising Casey with a trip on the Adirondack Train would be such a hit. It had been more a last-minute plan because the boy refused to accept any gift from him, though it was Christmas. Their first Christmas together. „And the tour isn't over yet. We will hop off the Adirondack train in the Hudson Valley for a winter hike, then warm up at the Brotherhood. It's a local award-winning winery.“
„Wine,“ Casey repeated, surprised. „I thought you were more of the beer guy.“
„I am.“ Zeke laughed. „Though, I am willing to make an exception for a glass of their New York Red.
But we are not going there alone for the wine. I can't imagine a better setting for a photo geek like you. Just wait and see.“
Casey's eyes sparkled full of excitement, and maybe for the first time in his life, Zeke felt thankful for his parents, who had taken him here almost every year around Christmas when he had still been a child. The most boring place in the world, like he had thought back then. But now, when he was discovering the world anew through Casey's eyes, he had to admit how wrong he had been.
