2016 Finger Lakes

Debbie and I traveled along with her sister Kathy and her husband, Mike, over to the Finger Lakes region this past weekend. Everyone had a great time. We ate at historic Belhurst Castle, did some wineries (and sampled a good deal of wine - good thing Mike was DD), toured historic Rose Hill Mansion, and capped it all off with a visit to America's Number One State Park, Letchworth State Park, home of the "Grand Canyon of the East". It truly is a wonderful park; I wouldn't argue with that "best" claim at all. But (once again), do they ever refer to the canyon in Arizona as the "Letchworth of the West?" Before heading home, we ate at historic Glen Iris Inn, which is inside the park.


Debbie and I stayed at an Airbnb Bed and Breakfast in Geneva. It was close to the Holiday Inn that held Kathy and Mike. The B&B was an interesting, nearly new experience for us. We had great breakfasts and greater conversations with our hosts. Fun stuff.

I suppose my favorite winery was probably Wagner. But they were all good. Perhaps a little too good - we didn't even make it all the way around Seneca Lake before we'd had a little too much of a good thing.


All in all, this was a nice little trip.
