Finger Lakes Part 2

The wine trails around Lake Cayuga and Lake Seneca are very well marked. I had picked up a brochure on each. We figured out which winery had the types of wines we wanted and gave them a try. Some wines were great some were left at the shop!

Here we are sampling a port -- if I remember correctly it was a white port. Very different taste but we both liked it. I am not much of a wine drinker but I do like sherry and ports. I guess that means I like things sweet.

Here's the view from the winery. That is Lake Cayuga in the background. The weather had cleared and the sun was shining. (earlier it had poured rain.)

Look what we found near Waterloo, NY. It may have been in Waterloo but there were so many little towns it was hard to know which one we were in at a time! Yep, an honest to goodness drive-in. We enjoyed rootbeer, fries, burgers and Philly cheesesteak sandwich.

Mac's drive-in with the curb service. They didn't have the speakers to the kitchen like I've seen before but service was good. Food was inexpensive and fine.

As we were wandering around Lake Seneca we passed this sculpture on the grounds of Hobart and William Smith College. How appropriate for a quilter. Well, except maybe a rotary cutter would have been even better! LOL

Although we went to the quilt store before lunch I took the picture after lunch. We sat outside, with Raggs at a great restaurant overlooking Seneca lake. There was a little fence with grape vines on it.

We were happy the restaurant allowed us to have Raggs with us and he behaved very well. Heck, he fell asleep at my feet and didn't pay much attention to what was going on around him, including when lunch was delivered.

We stopped at Oh Susannah's Quilts and Gifts in Watkins Glen. It is a wonderful shop. Check my next post to find out what I bought. Hint: I got a cute little bag that was brand new from spring quilt market in Pittsburgh. What is in the bag?

Road Trip to Finger Lakes area, NY

Reporting in from the Finger Lakes region of New York.

Stopped at Patchwork Plus -- it was in the Quilt Sampler mag this year. WOW talk about a lot of fabric. And some luscious yarns too.

Pat and Raggs hung outside the shop. Hey, I tried to look and buy in a hurry but, honestly, there was just so much to see!

Then we headed to an ice cream shop. Great

soft serve and of course, Raggs wanted some too. Piggy that he is he finished his really fast! Notice the little measuring cup between Pat's feet? We had ice cream in that for Raggs.

We also stopped to do a bit of wine tasting. Long Point Winery was very dog friendly. I had him running around the big yard but he was invited inside. Evidently Long Point employees bring their dogs to work. We took Raggs off his leash and look what he found! Yikes Raggs!

We added some bottles to our wine rack at this winery. Raggs wanted to take home a cute dog dish but we vetoed that idea. He was quite the gentleman.

I have more to chat about but Pat's ready to hit the road and Raggs wouldn't mind it either.

I'll add to my report next time!

Happy quilting all!
