Finger Lakes Wine Festival

A couple can never have too much wine! Ok, maybe they can, but we had an awesome time and survived unscathed!
Last year I traveled to Seneca Lake with a group of 12 girls. This year I decided to plan a trip back and my cousins were also ripe for a weekend without the kids!
We survived some horrible construction traffic, in Pennsylvania, of course, but we made it in four hours. We headed right to the Toga party after pinning ourselves together as best we could. It was more crowded than last year, and we didn't win a prize, but it was a good time. The fireworks were a nice touch! Afterwards we headed to a bar in town for some darts and snacks, then rest for a big Saturday.



We got up early so the six of us could run through the Gorge before breakfast. It was just as beautiful as I remember. I was glad to be able to share it with Matt, since I had told him so much about it before. Marsha, our Inn Keeper, had a wonderful breakfast ready for us when we got back and some of the girls that I went with last year also joined us. The Festival itself seemed more crowded than last year. We bought a dozen bottles or so, some as gifts, some for us, and some for special occasions.

After catching the shuttle bus back into town, some of us napped while others opted for a walk, or even a run! (That was Trisha, she's in training mode right now and took advantage of the time!) Eventually we walked a few blocks up to the lake for dinner, then Matt and I headed out for some live music while my cousins searched out some ice cream.
Unfortunately Megan got sick from dinner, we think, and the groups parted ways to head home after picking up our wine. All in all, it was a fabulous weekend, just the kind of thing we all needed.
