Vacation-Last Day!

This was the rustic lodge we stayed at our last night in Watkins Glen:






We visited the International Motor Racing Research Center on our last day before we headed back to PA.  Kurt thought we'd be there about 15 minutes....an hour later....
It was actually kinda neat, we watched a 20 minute video about Watkins Glen Race Course.  We also drove the original 6.6 mile road course on Wednesday afternoon, which was, I'm sure, a highlight of the trip for Kurt :)







We took a detour through Wellsboro, PA and a short drive to the Grand Canyon of PA.  Had we been there about two weeks earlier, I think we would have seen some phenomenal fall colors.  It was still pretty neat, though:





There was a couple standing by us who spotted a bald eagle waaayyyy down in the ravine.  It took me quite a long time until I was able to make this guy out!  This picture was taken with my zoom and you can actually see it much better in the pic than you could in real life:



After a very long drive through much nothing-ness, we came upon my favorite sight in the world-Beaver Stadium:)


And just happened to find these two on the side of the road.  They looked hungry, so we took them to dinner:)  We spent less than two hours in State College, then headed back home to Danielsville.  We had a wonderful time and it was so good to get away for a few days.



Here's our wine purchases:
