zandertoyWhat an amazing weekend!
Furry and I planned a little vacation to his parents house in syracuse. We left early in the morning on Thursday and started our little road trip.
Our first stop was this small little town that had the largest Buddha in the eastern hemisphere. It was HUGE!
It was such a beautiful day! Perfect way to start the trip.
We made a few other stops on the way and eventually got there at night.
FRIDAY
The second day we went to this small little town Skaneateles. We got a chance to chill out in the town and explored all the little shops. For lunch we had fish fry at this small place. The food was perfect!
Really enjoyed being out there and had such a good time just NOT WORKING! It truly was a vacation.
On our way home we stopped by this slammin ice cream place called Gannons. I had the just java which was coffee ice cream with little pieces of oreos. Furry had the Lemon Custard which was just as good.
SATURDAY
Today we decided togo to Lake Oneida to go Kayaking. We started off in this little canal stream thing and ended up in Lake Oneida. After we got into the actual lake the view was amazing! We paddled towards the center for a bit and the water was so clear that you could actually see the rocks at the bottom. Even the fish were visible. It was such a beautiful sunny day and definitely worth all of the paddling.
We kayaked all the way to Fishermans Bay restaurant which was the perfect way to end the day. I was relieved to stop paddling and get some food.
I ordered buffalo wings and french onion soup- Definitely not good for me but when your on vacation anything goes.
SUNDAY- ANNIVERSARY
Today we had a simple breakfast at the diner close to the house.
After breakki we headed back and cleaned up and packed up. On the way home we stopped by this small town called Calicoon. Unfortunately since we got there so late the all of the little shops ended up closing. It turns out that this places is only around two hours from the city so we definitely are going to plan a trip back. We had dinner at Matthews which was really delicious. The hostess who was also his wife Dominique. She told us that all the food was local and that nothing was from a can, all food was made from scratch.
Overall we had such a lovely time together and definitely feel relaxed from this trip.
