Upstate NY

The Farm

In a little town called Argyle, NY, right outside of Satatoga Springs, we visited "the farm". First thing in the morning we woke up and went to get eggs from Farmer Bob for breakfast...delicious. Other highlights from the trip were shopping at the Lake George outlets, playing mini-golf, seeing a movie at the drive-in, and our hilarious game of Loaded Questions. Thank you Ben and Ilana for letting us visit.

Being on 180 acres of land, we decided to hike for a little while.



If you look closely at my forehead, you can see the mosquites had a picnic on my face. Apparently bugs are part of upstate New York's "charm".


Playing a little mini-golf at Pirate's Cove.






Ithaca College

From the Farm, we drove four hours west to Ithaca College where we helped move Allison into her college dorm. Good luck Alli!


Pictures with her new roommates.






After dropping Alli off, we decided to take advantage of the finger lakes wine country and do some tastings on the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail. Unfortunately, none of us really like New York wines...too sweet!



My father takes wine tasting one step further.



We visited Americana Vineyard, Lucus Vineyard, and the Ithaca Beer Company.

  • nice pictures, Liz. Hope your insect bites have gone. Leaving Alli at school was much easier with you and Jay around. The Fingerlakes area is very pretty, too bad we don't really appreciate the wine there. Great root beer at the Ithaca Brewery though!!!

  • Maria - In that picture, we had just stopped to catch our breathe. Jay wasn't afraid, he was just squinting. We tried hiking to an apple orchard with no success. The mosquitoes were overpowering and we had to turn back.
