Short trip to the Finger Lakes district near Ithaca, mainly to eat at the Moosewood Restaurant (of the vegetarian cookbook fame). Food was amazing, weather was great for late August, and the kayaking on two of the smaller glacial lakes was fun.
I have included a few pictures from 2 other pre-retirement trips we took to the Finger Lakes - one in the summer to see Watkins Glen ( http://nysparks.com/parks/142 ) and to take a glass-blowing class at the Corning Glass Museum ( http://www.cmog.org/visit/make-your-own-glass ), and the other for Canadian Thanksgiving where we stayed in a cabin at a winery ( http://buttonwoodgrove.com/cabins.html ). Ate at Moosewood both times - the menu changes daily. http://www.moosewoodcooks.com/restaurant-menu/
