Watkins Glen

Day 3 was a trip to Watkins Glen State Park. It was actually one of my favorite hikes that we did this trip! You were walking inside the gorge and it was very pretty.

Sweet ducks trying to find their way:

On the way back we stopped at Tin Barn Brewing:

Lakewood Vineyards:

Magnus Ridge winery that had a nice vibe in the back:

Miles Wine Cellars gave off weird vibes inside, but had an amazing dock outside:

We strolled around Seneca Lake

Got ice cream flights at Spotted Duck Creamery:

Another 9 holes at Arrowhead Creek (I'm there for the golf cart driving):

And headed to Nickel's BBQ Pit for dinner - we met the owner in the grocery store checkout line and decided to check it out. It did not disappoint!

Day 3:

Letchworth State Park

Day 2 took us to Letchworth State Park. It was a lovely hike with several waterfalls and a pretty bridge:

On the way back we stopped at Weis Vineyards:

Then all four of us decided to go golfing at Arrowhead Creek (best ball of course):

And then cleaned up and headed to dinner at the Switz(erland Inn) for dinner. It had great views of the water on Keuka:

Day 2:

 

Ithaca

While the kids were at SB2W, we went to the Finger Lakes! On our drive there, we stopped at a place called Jackass Brewing in Williamsport, PA. It was fine, but service was sloooooow and we were hungry!

Day one we went to Ithaca. We hiked Buttermilk Falls State Park to start out...

Then we drove to Cornell and checked out Ithaca Falls:

We went to lunch at Glenwood Pines - famous for their burger served on Ithaca Bakery french bread. It was delicious!

We hiked at Taughannock Falls State Park:

Then slowly wandered back to where we were staying...stopping at Wagner Vineyards and Wagner Valley Brewing on the way - a great spot.

And Cayuga Lake Creamery for ice cream.

From there we went back to the house. The guys went golfing and Ashley and I went kayaking on Waneta Lake:
