Today we visited the Toledo Museum of Art, which had very good ratings. We were not disappointed. It has quite a nice collection, including paintings from many of the famous impressionists. However, the main attraction for us was the Glass Pavilion, which is a totally separate building entirely devoted to glass. Some items seen were… Continue reading Toledo Museum of Art

Maumee Bay State Park
Maumee Bay is at the western end of Lake Erie, and just to the east of Toledo, OH. The park itself is quite large, and the campground is very dispersed and has very large sites. The site we are on is most definitely the largest campsite we have ever had. The park has two beaches,… Continue reading Maumee Bay State Park
Pymatuning State Park, Ohio.
The Pymatuning reservoir is on the state line of Pennsylvania and Ohio. Interestingly, there are three “Pymatuning State Park Campgrounds”, two in Pennsylvania, and one in Ohio. We stayed at the one in Ohio. We lucked out because the site I had booked based on availability and studying the map was I think the best… Continue reading Pymatuning State Park, Ohio.
Niagara Falls – USA side wineries
Our friends Mike and Josy came to visit from Canada, and our plan was to visit US-side wineries. Claudette pre-selected three that had good reviews, and then we had Mike select which one of these to go to first. We started off at Arrowhead winery, and did a flight of their red wines. We weren’t… Continue reading Niagara Falls – USA side wineries
Niagara Falls – USA side
Our passports are being renewed, so crossing the border to the Canadian side was out of the question. This was an opportunity to visit the falls on the US side. The Canadian side has a better reputation for a frontal view of the falls. The US side offer what is more of a sideways view. … Continue reading Niagara Falls – USA side

Three main things today: 1- Eastman Kodak’s world headquarters are based out of Rochester NY. So we decided to visit the Kodak museum. It had a quite interesting display on the history of photographic media and cameras. Undoubtedly, the best part of the visit was the self-guided tour of the Eastman mansion. 2- We drove… Continue reading “Kodak” museum and fingers lake area – Canandaiga lake
Erie Canal
Today, we drove to Macedon, NY to a campground that backs off on the Erie Canal, which connects lake Ontario to Lake Erie. While it is definitely a canal, it is much smaller than I was expecting, and just wide enough for recreational boats. Today was really hot, and we spent most of the afternoon… Continue reading Erie Canal
Salmon River Falls
For our day two in Parish, we started off by canoeing for about an hour in the morning, on a small lake which was part of the campground property. In the afternoon, we drove to Salmon River Falls, close to the campground. The falls were quite nice, and the path to the falls mostly graveled… Continue reading Salmon River Falls
Parish, NY
First time camping in NY state with this RV (new sticker on our map) and first two-night stay on this trip. First impression is that the campground we are at is a very well maintained. We explored the campground and planned to go and do some canoeing tomorrow
Revisiting Lackawanna State Park
we had been to this park before, and intentionally came back here. A funny thing happened when we got to our site…it was occupied. So I get out of the truck, and walk up to the man who was visibly in the process of either setting up or packing up. I told him, “you’re in… Continue reading Revisiting Lackawanna State Park
