Weekend Away

It is so refreshing to take a break from your daily routine and get away.  Even if you escape your schedule for a weekend only, you can feel renewed.  Last weekend, I was able to take a trip to upstate New York's Finger Lakes region.  Most of my New York experience is with NYC, but there is a totally different flavor in the Finger Lakes area.  Views I enjoyed: green, perfectly-cut grass, livestock, farms, crops, clear bodies of water, fresh air, open spaces, quaint Main Streets, and quiet. We stopped in Corning, NY, where we toured the Corning Museum of Glass.  Next, we went to Waterloo, NY, where we did 2 overnights.  We journeyed on to Canandaigua, NY, where we toured Rose Hill Mansion and the NY Culinary Center.  Then we went to Casa Larga in Fairport, NY and had dinner in Belhurst Castle in the evening.  Our last day of the weekend trip included a boat excursion on Lake Skaneateles-pronounced Skinny-AT-tel-lis.  Except for Waterloo, I had never heard of these towns.  There was lots of history and lots of relaxing fun in a different environment.  Nice...
I am back in my routine now, trying hard to keep the relaxed feeling.  So far, so good!
Smiles,
Sylvia
