Envy me

Tomorrow Michael and I are heading out to Palmyra, New York, to cover a church pageant for The Friend, our church's children's magazine. On the way we have to pass through Watkins Glen, drive the length of one of the finger lakes, Lake Seneca, and spend a couple of days talking with and taking pictures of cute kids in costumes. Oh darn! And we get to spend all that time together. You can start envying me now if you like.

This is a totally pitiful picture taken out of a car window in 2008, but you can still tell that Lake Seneca is amazing. It just goes on forever like a river and yet isn't one. The Finger Lakes were formed by glacial carving and Lake Seneca is almost 40 miles long and one of the deepest lakes in America. Watkins Glen is fabulous as well. You can walk through the glen and walk over and under waterfalls. And I thought it was just a race track! Pretty sure we won't have time to walk the trail this trip but can get a glimpse of it.

The Finger Lakes is a wine growing region which means that the countryside is covered with beautiful vineyards. I'll post better pictures after our trip.
