Take the Long Way Home.

James and I took Joe (our son) back to school in Auburn this morning and then, we took the long way home. We drove west until we got to Cayuga Lake and then turned south.

Cayuga is a much bigger lake than James had anticipated, but we had all day and that to ourselves so on and on we drove. We eventually ended up in Corning, drove toward Bath, NY, and then up to our favorite winery on the west side of Keuka Lake. By 4:45pm we had made our way to Canandaigua, NY and decided to visit the Rheinblick German Restaurant where we shared dinner and it was magnificent! Nice end to a wonderful day together.

(Not familiar with the Finger Lakes? Here's a map.)

    1. It was a very nice day. Our house has been noisy and chaotic so it was good to have a time of peace and quiet.

  2. I love to drive (or ride) and just meander about. Very relaxing! And dinner out is always good!

    1. There are plenty of places to meander in the Finger Lakes. It would be a wonderful place for a vacation. And yes, dinner out is always good, especially when there are leftovers for lunch the next day.

    1. It was a perfect day! Felt almost like spring. Today, not so much. We're getting a bit more of the white stuff.

  4. It was a lovely day. Paul and I took Camille with us on our little adventure to find me my new desk-y thing, she chatted enough to ensure it wasn't quite peaceful enough, but it was still fun. We drove the long way too, and enjoyed the sun shining on the snow. I love driving down a road I have never been on, seeing different houses and farms and streams.....

    1. It was a very lovely day. I remembered to look for your road before we passed it on the way down. Got that landmark in my mind now. One day I am going to stop and look in The Purple Monkey, if I ever drive through both when I have time and they're open.
      I love the landscape of the Finger Lakes and the farms along the way. I am a country girl deep inside. Maybe I'll relocate to the east. ;)

  5. Beautiful photos. My husband and I like to drive around about once a week and enjoy the scenery.
