Canal Cruise Adventure

I have lived in close proximity to the Erie Barge Canal all my life (well, with the exception of the time I lived in NC, but I still considered “home” to be here by the canal). It is really difficult to get anywhere around… Continue Reading “Canal Cruise Adventure”

Genesee Country Museum Adventure

It was a great day for an adventure! I woke up a little earlier than normal and, as usual, checked the weather for the day – mid-70s and mostly sunny! I thought to myself, hhhmmm – maybe I’ll pick something local from my summer… Continue Reading “Genesee Country Museum Adventure”
