Today we said a sad goodbye to my sister and her crew. They set off on their 11 hour drive and we set off on our 3 hour drive to Ithaca. We drove over a few bridges and saw two of the finger lakes. You’ve heard of those right? Us too, but we’ve never been. Until today!
We are visiting Ithaca because Papa John’s son lives here with his wife and daughter. We set our map on their house and after passing through a ton of small towns, many corn fields, and a few mini marts, just over three hours later we arrived.
They delighted us with a lovely lunch spread of sandwiches and lemonade before we set our sights on a moderately difficult hike to see some of the famous waterfalls that this region is known for.
We set our maps to Treman State Park and hiked to see Lucifer Falls. This park was amazing! We have all been to Hawaii and many of us thought the greenery was comparable. It was lush and green and fern covered. It was gorgeous.
We also got to catch up with Brad and Rachel and learn more about this region. It was a wonderful afternoon hiking in the shade and enjoying the views. The waterfalls were great. Simply stunning.
Joyce rested back at the house and we caught up with her after the hike. We spent the evening catching up and sharing stories before heading to our AirBnB and then a quick trip to Walmart for provisions. Dinner was cooked, or rather reheated, a little movie about Ray Charles, and showers and bed. A busy busy day!
