Elsie Yachting with the Raymonds

A bright summer day finds the spirited siblings Lulu and Max aboard a bustling train, their heads full of Revolutionary tales and the promise of adventure. Their father, a kindly captain, promises a weekend at Saratoga’s historic battlefield and a visit to Mount McGregor, where General Grant spent his final days. As the landscape rushes past, the children’s excitement builds, each imagining the stories they’ll share when they finally reunite with their sister Gracie at the seaside.

The journey continues from the railroads to the tranquil waters of the Hudson, where the family plans to board a yacht for a leisurely cruise with the Raymonds. Along the way, the children’s curiosity about history blends with the simple joys of a summer holiday—exploring new places, swapping tales, and savoring the freedom of open water. Listeners will be drawn into the warm, nostalgic world of a close‑knit family eager to make lasting memories together.
