The sun was shining at breakfast but it did not last

We decided to drive to Robert Treman State Park to see the waterfalls We made a stop at Wegmans grocery store in Ithaca. It’s the biggest grocery store I have ever been in. Over 30 self checkouts.

Then on to Buttermilk Falls

Last night at the Gothic Inn. All of the rooms are named after wines.  They have a spa and offer massages

Morning sky at Idlwilde Inn.  If you are ever in the Finger Lakes this is a great place to stay.  It overlooks Seneca Lake.  This was our third time there.

Stopped by the harbor,  Was surprised to see there were no boats docked.  There was no one around so I managed to get a photo without waiting

I had to have my daily fix of Chai tea so we stopped at a great coffee shop in Watkins Glen – Babes and Buds The cinnamon buns were warmed up and delicious and the chair was great.  If you are ever in the area be sure and stop by

We decided to drive around the lake since we could not check into our other Inn until 3 stopped at a park overlooking Cayuga Lake

Decided to go back to Montezuma Wildlife Refuge. Spotted lots of blue herons and even a couple of eagles. When we were there on Tuesday the rangers were stocking fish in several places. We were surprised they were still in same spot

Stopped at Taughnock Falls for a quick photo before we checked in at the Inn

Sunrise this morning from front porch of inn

Owner of B and B suggested we go to boundary breaks winery. The view of the lake was great

Then we stopped at Lakewood Winery to get some port wine for a friend. Of course we had to try the wine while we were there

Old gas pump

Then we decided to head to the Glen Curtiss Museum. If you are ever in the area it’s well worth the trip. I had never heard of him and was not aware he was in competition with the Wright Brothers and was very innovative

Time clock to punch in work at Curtis aviation I have never had to punch in. However I now have to log in using Workday on the computer

Then we decided to stop at Dr Constantine Frank Winery that overlooks Keuka Lake. since it was late afternoon we decided to do a cheese and charcuterie board. They paired the wine with the offerings. Everything was delicious

Beautiful day in the Finger Lakes we decided to drive to Fort Ontario. It was nice drive but when we got there the fort was closed. Did get a picture of the lighthouse.

Then we decided to look for a Starbucks for some coffee and chai. Would you believe there are no Starbucks in Oswego. We did find a coffee shop but it was not the same. We did find a nice bakery though

Then we drove thru the Montezuma Wildlife refuge Lots of people there today. Only saw a heron and some geese

Then we went to Montezuma Winery It’s one of our favorites. Bought a bunch of wine and two liqueurs Apple pie and ginger.

Back to the inn. Walked around the grounds at the Inn for some pictures.

Now it’s time to finish reading Daughter of Mine. First time reading Megan Miranda but it won’t be the last. Always happy to find a new author
