Finger Lakes, Take 2

We loved the Finger Lakes so much...we went back! The other weekend we decided to try the Baseball Hall of Fame again (this time, success!) and head back to our favorite B&B in Penn Yan, NY.

Thursday night, we hit the road to Cooperstown, stopping just outside Scranton for dinner. Being The Office fans that we are, it was pretty fun to be there and drive through Lackawanna County. We stayed at our first real motel! It was a drive up motel right on a beautiful lake - we could see some amazing stars!

Friday morning we started the day at the Baseball HOF, and it was worth coming back to see. It's a baseball museum too and we had a great time seeing artifacts and reading about the beginnings of the sport. Of course we sought out all Twins paraphernalia that we could. We had lunch in Cooperstown too and it's an adorable small town, with beautiful old Victorian homes and lots of baseball themed shops.


Once we got to the Finger Lakes we were immediately reminded why we had to go back...it's just such a beautiful and relaxing place, and we were lucky to have great weather this time around. We tried some new wineries and went back to a few favorites from before. We had an incredible dinner thanks to a recommendation from the B&B - this time we got reservations in advance! There was another couple at the B&B that we really hit it off with and ended up spending our evening together on our second night. On our departure day, we stayed and chatted with the B&B owners for nearly 4 hours - we had a great time! We even convinced them to show off the classic cars in the garage and got a ride in the '70s Citroen!
