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

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
