Summer!

This is the end of my week off. Sigh. I love summer vacay.

We went to Rochester to George Eastman House International Museum of Photography. I loved it. The collection itself was fairly small, but interesting. They even have a camera that was used to photograph the moon on one of the Apollo missions. How cool is that? The house is also lovely, as is the garden.
Here is the lunar camera:

Inside the house was a head of an elephant!

We also went to Taughannock falls, but the waterfall was merely a trickle because of the recent lack of rain. It was lovely though to go back there. We had not been since before Penboy was born! He complained of the heat and the walk all the way there and back.
The people swimming there were doing so illegally, btw. The surrounding rocks are very soft and flaky and have been known to fall into the pool below.

On the way to the park, we got lost, of course, but thanks to getting lost, we stumbled on a really cool antiques shop, where I got a small Fenton milky white vase to my glass collection. Penboy got a really cool model of an old Cadillac and Mr. P got a violin bottle for his brother.

So, now back to work and Penboy is starting camp.
