Roger had a fun morning exploring the Glenn Curtiss Aviation Museum yesterday. Curtiss started his inventive career by designing motorcycles and eventually competed with the Wrights in building airplanes. He is most famous for the "Jennys" - a World War I trainer and the World War II P40's and C46's. I almost sound like I know what I am talking about!
We spent this morning touring the Corning Glass Museum. Amazing demonstrations of how they "blow" glass into such intricate designs. It was especially interesting because Kyle's mother grew up in this area and her father was a glass blower and made Steuben glassware. Hopefully, Samantha will remember so she can tell her Daddy and Granny.
This is such a fun area to hike in - there are so many beautiful waterfalls along the gorges. The countryside is heavily forested and dotted with many small farms. Mostly dairy and farm to market produce. Hard to imagine how they cleared the rolling hills so they could plow a field.
Heather's allergies have been driving her crazy. Dandelion tufts blow through the air like a snow flurry and are gathered on the side of the roads like snow drifts!
Kyle's Uncle Terry (his mother's brother)& Aunt Laurie joined us for dinner this evening. They live about 50 miles away in Cortland, NY. It was good we could get together before the kids leave for Malaysia as they had not seen Emily.
Another "road trip" tomorrow as we move on to Newburgh, New York.
