A Tour of Upstate NY

We have made it to our first two stops on the road trip and so far so good. The trip up from MD to CT was successful, and so was the trip from CT to Luzerne, and then to Ithaca. In Luzerne we stayed at the cabin of my friend Rachel, went to the beach, kayaked, and traversed the "village" of Lake George. Then we drove through upstate NY, all green hills and small towns to Ithaca to stay with my brother Pete. He played "tour guide" (we said he could probably earn extra money on the side as a tour guide for the tourists like us) and we did a whirlwind tour of downtown, PSP (including a stop at Gimme! coffee). We then ventured to the Taughannock Falls, to tasty burgers and soft-serve ice cream with Nancy and Daniel. It was a nice beginning to our cross-country trip, especially to be treated so nicely by family and friends!!
Tomorrow is one of the longer stretches of the trip (12 hours) to WI. An adventure for sure!
