Epic Weekend

After 2-1/2 years since Preston was born, It was nice to finally have a chance to spend time with just each other. Trish stayed at our house and spent the weekend with Preston and the dogs (guess which was easier!) and Peter and I finally had the chance to go to the Finger Lakes! There are a lot of quality wineries and let me tell you it was worth the wait! We had a blast!!! We went on the west side of Seneca Lake hitting 9 wineries; 3 before lunch and 6 after lunch. We went to Prejean, Earle Estates Meadery, Torrey Ridge, Four Chimneys, Ashley Lynn (this one was put on the "do not return" list), Seneca Shore, Rock Stream, Arcadian, and H.J. Weimer. Prejean was the first one we hit and was a nice surprise. We've been a fan of  Earle Estates for a long time now, so it was exciting to finally go there. We were extremely lucky this weekend, either just missing the big tour busses and wedding parties or just leaving as they arrived. That was luck for sure because by the end of the day, they were getting pretty rowdy and took up a lot of room at each winery. At the end of the day Saturday we had 4 cases of wine in our car. Nice!!!! We not only had a blast trying and buying wine, we had some extremely delicious food. Geneva, NY prides themselves on using local and fresh food and you can clearly tell by some of the amazing restaurants we went to. Sunday after breakfast we decided to hit the Waterloo outlets on the way home to some much needed shopping and score some good deals. Unfortunately there aren't many pictures. We were having way too much fun and just didn't get a chance to take many. Here are the few we have.
