Corning - Days Inn

Today was Thanksgiving! So excited for my first ever Thanksgiving experience! Happily lunch was planned for pretty late in the afternoon so we had plenty of time in the morning to make and extra pumpkin pie and watch the turkey roasting in the oven. Scott's Mum was preparing some of the food to transport to Grandma’s place and we all heade...

Today was a very rainy day, grey and damp, much like home. So we set out to the Corning Museum of Glass. It was a pretty cool place, lots of unusual glass sculptures and various artwork. There was lots of history stuff too, as well as fun educational things (I liked looking through the periscope) and a glass-blowing demonstration.

Wine tasting and ice cream today, doesn't get much better! Made some sandwiches and headed out for a drive up to a couple of places on Cayuga Lake, one of the Finger Lakes, where we were sure to find wine (the guys at work will be pleased to note that we went to the places recommended by my lonely planet guide).

So the reason we'd gone up to the parents place was because deer hunting season starts today. It turns out that I’ve been sharing a bedroom with 2 hunting rifles all week which is slightly strange (don’t worry, they’re safely locked away). So Scott and his father went out at 5am after some deer. No luck unfortunately for them, ...

Cable guy due between 1 and 3 today so not made too many plans, naturally he turned up at 11am while I was in the shower. Happily he had stuff to do that didn't involve access to the bathroom until after I’d finished. Then we celebrated the return of the internet all afternoon, I managed to start this blog (hopefully I’ll keep it up ...

Waffles for breakfast with maple syrup, I approve of breakfast foods in the USA. Went out to Ithaca for the day, the town where Scott has just moved from to have a look round, see where he works and to get my hair colour sorted out. Really pretty town, there are a couple of colleges and we drove up to the campus to get a good view down the hill ...

We'd agreed on a slow start this week while I’m recovering from such a long trip so had a nice cooked breakfast and then headed out to the supermarket to pick up some food and use the free wi-fi (internet won’t get hooked up till Thursday). I was most amused to find that in the foreign food aisle they had an Irish / British section, ...

Our first stop to Canada is at the Corning Museum of Glass. While here, we were able to see how glass was made from blowing into a tube. We also got to see some other purposes of glass and my mom was able to purchase somethings for herself. We were able to see some of the art pieces that were part of history.

What a month!! First let me preface the following post with everyone is ok. However everything is not. So as yens know we are in the process of moving to Vegas. So I will start from the begininng. This all started with we want you in San Diego in three weeks. *marv panics* ok so I got to finish getting the truck ready to drive across the country...

So we found out over the weeked that B-J got the job in San Diego. He starts Dec 1st. The moving truck will be here to get dropped off for three days on the 14th. I will be leaving NY on the 26th after I drop B-J and May off at the airport. Bubba and I will be in PA until the 11th of Dec so that I can go to the dr's one last time and stuff like ...
