Along The Way to New York

 

Hi Peeps!  I made it to Syracuse, New York today from Ohio.  Here are some of the pictures I took along the way.  Most of them where taken in the small town of Geneva, Ohio in the Lake Erie area.   I love, love, love small towns.    I plan on bringing Russ back here for a little vacation.  Such a quaint town.  I ate breakfast at a local restaurant, The Honey Bee, very cute.   The restaurant does not take credit cards, whew, I thought I was going to have to do dishes, but I found enough cash in my purse to cover the meal and tip.  It’s scary how little cash I carry on my person.

 It was a little hard to take a picture of the old men on the restaurant stools without them see me, lol.    There were about 7 elderly gentlemen enjoying each others company at the counter.  I assume this is a daily ritual.  I like the finished shot.

 

Don’t you just love old buildings?

          

As I mentioned, the town is near Lake Erie where I took this shot.

Now the rest of the pictures were taken at Geneva local Wineries.  I visited quite a few wineries today and I kinda lost track of the winery names, lol.   Nope, I wasn’t doing any tasting either.  🙂  But I did purchase quite a few bottles to take home.   Even if you are not into wine, visit some wineries just for the views.  They are very beautiful.   Even in the off season.

     

The winery below is a converted church. 

                     

More winery views.

       

I hope you enjoyed riding along with me today.  🙂  Well pictures are the next best thing, right?

Have a super weekend!

I’m off to bed to rest up for the workshops tomorrow.  ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Until my next post. . . . . . . .

Hugs,

Michelle

    Lovely scenes. I like your focal points. Great shots! Do you scrap pictures of your travels, such as these (or some of them?) I guess as much as you travel, if you did, you would have hundreds of volumes of pictures, huh? 🙂

    OMG—Michelle, you were just 15 minutes away from my home, I live in Madison, Ohio. The church winery is South River Winery and the other one with the gazebo is Ferrante’s. There are many more wineries right in this same area. (Last weekend my DH and myself and another couple did the ICE WINE hop to five different wineries–fun!)
    Glad you got to see a few of them.
    Next time you come through this way, I’ll buy you breakfast, lol… 🙂
    Have a safe trip

    What wonderful pictures – I’m not able to get out much so your pictures give me a way of seeing places I’d never have a chance to see otherwise.

    Great pics, Michelle. Too bad you couldn’t get a better pic of the old men. You’d be right up with there with Normal Rockwell.

  13. I am so happy to see the first shot…I collect covered bridges, and I believe this is one that I don’t have a picture of yet. You are so lucky to be able to travel and enjoy the local scenery. It’s gorgeous! I’m originally from Ohio, so I really love seeing my old stomping grounds.

    Looks like you had a great journey. Did you get any wine from the Church winery – perhaps it has been blessed and tastes extra good!
