Weekend Getaway

Sean and I had a nice weekend getaway - we went camping in Watkins Glen State Park and attended the Finger Lakes Wine Festival. Meanwhile, the kids had a mini-vacation at Camp Grammy & Grampa.

The Wine Fest was great, but more than a little over-crowded. There are so many wineries in the Finger Lakes Region but we only were able to muscle our way through to a couple dozen or so. Still, it's a great way to discover new-to-us wineries and sample what they have to offer. I found a few new places to look for the next time I'm looking for wine, which is always nice.

The only downside to the weekend was that it ended too soon. It was the first time Sean and I camped in about seven years and I realized how much I've missed it. Being outdoors, sitting around the fire, hanging out with good friends, and enjoying being unplugged for a few days all make for a very relaxing getaway.

Maybe it's time to introduce the kids to the great outdoors.

Maybe we'll start with the backyard. ;)
