Weekend Recap

It might seem a bit late for a weekend recap, but our weekend really ran Saturday to Monday. We went camping at Keuka State Park with our good friends, Bob and Cathy. (Warning:  it’s a heavy photo post with several new scaventer hunt photos included.) We started our weekend at Lloyd’s in Penn Yan for lunch, and then drove to the camp ground and pitched our tents.

Before dinner we went to a darling Farmer’s Market to get some sweet corn . . .

and then off to find the Garrett Memorial Chapel which is hidden in the woods on the bluff overlooking Keuka Lake.

(# 19 an outdoor stairway)

(#6 a historical landmark)

Although we’ve camped here before we never knew about the chapel. We returned Sunday morning and attended the service there. The chapel seats about 100, and I’d guess there were 75-80 people there. Photos of the interior are prohibited, but it’s very beautiful and has a series of Tiffany stained glass windows. 

We cooked steaks for dinner and had a campfire Saturday night. By Sunday morning it had started to drizzle. It continued all day long, sometimes raining steadily. It didn’t deter us from having a great time. After church, we had an excellent breakfast at the Antique Inn.

 After brunch (it was nearly noon by the time we finished), we visited a couple of our favorite wineries and brought home some new wines to try.

At Rooster Hill, they had live music on the porch. (#7 on the scavenger hunt)

For several years now, Tracy has wanted to go to the Curtiss Museum in Hammondsport. It turns out Glenn Curtiss was one of the most influential and important pioneers in aviation. The museum is filled with interesting artifacts. Curtiss initially was interested in bicycles, then motorcycles. He started to develop engines for motorcycles, which then led to the interest in airplanes.

By the time we finished at the museum, the rain had cleared and we headed back to the campsite for dinner.

Afterwards, we went down to the lake for the sunset, and then called it a night after roasting marshmallows for S’Mores.

After breaking camp and breakfast in Penn Yan, Tracy and I headed to the outlets. We bought some 12 mo. clothes for Caleb who is growing by leaps and bounds, and I picked up a couple of new shirts and a pair of shorts at Eddie Bauer. The prompt for the Photo of the Day just happened to be ice cream, so we stopped at the new Pittsford Dairy for an ice cream cone, which turned out to be plenty for lunch. 

I’ve spent the better part of yesterday and today editing photos in Lightroom from the weddings we attended and our camping weekend. I opened a trial account at SmugMug so I could create albums to share with family and am very impressed with how easy it is, and how nicely everything is arranged. (With almost no effort on my part!)
