Driving to Ithaca, New York

Brad wanted to see the finger lakes region in New York, and after lots of research, we figured that the best place for us to land for a few days was Ithaca, so we were up at 6:30, first stopping in Saranac Lake for a quick breakfast. We also decided to take the scenic (rather than highway) route......


 ...eventually finding ourselves in the cute town of Inlet......


 ...with its pier where one can buy a "slat" and honor someone.....


 

 Of course, there was a bakery....


 

 ...so we went inside.....


 ...and shared (if one bite for Suzanne is considered "sharing"......😆) a walnut maple sweet......it was awesome! 


 
Of course, as we were still technically in The Adirondacks, there were plenty of Adirondack chairs for sale......

 

We continued along the scenic roads, seeing lots of apple orchards, farms, and even a little early fall foliage changes.....

 


 We drove into Skaneateles and meandered the quaint town for an hour or so.......



 

About an hour later, around 5pm, we arrived to our hotel in Ithaca with a ton of dirty clothes and looking forward to doing some laundry. Alas, the hotel no longer had laundry facilities (might be time to update the 'ole website......😡) so it was off to a local laundromat........


 

An hour-and-a-half later we were back at the hotel with clean clothes! 😁
