Two of my friends and I have birthdays within six weeks of one another. We decided to celebrate by taking a road trip on Saturday. We drove down the west side of Cayuga Lake, stopped at the Ithaca Farmer’s Market (no great photos), and went on to Aurora. We had lunch at Pumpkin Hill and then visited the shop, grounds, and home at MacKenzie Childs.
Pumpkin Hill is a delightful restaurant.
The inside.
The food is wonderful, and there are so many special touches. Here are the menus.
Karen’s salad came in a colander.
The dessert menu comes on an old rolling pin.
Another group of women were hosting a surprise birthday party. The table and the favors were really lovely.
I’d never been to the MacKenzie Childs Estate. Everything about it is beautiful. I love their products, although they are a bit expensive for my budget.
The shop.
And some photos of the beautiful setting for this place.
And one of the beautiful flowering trees. As you can see, it was a picture-perfect day!
I love all the little touches at that restaurant.

Karen your area of the world looks so picturesque, lush and green. What a great way to celebrate your birthdays – the restaurant looks lovely.
What an amazing restaurant….all the extra touches just make all the difference…though ,of course, the food does need to be good as well.
