DAY TWO of Fall 2017 Watkins Glen Trip

We woke up to a very cool day. After eating breakfast in our room (pumpkin muffins, fruit and yogurt) Mary Anne and I headed out towards FILLMORE GLEN STATE PARK.   We located it easily enough and saw the replica of the cabin that Millard Fillmore grew up in
There was a huge pavilion/shelter nearby where we had our picnic lunch and then we headed down a trail to see a waterfalls.  
 I guess it is called COW SHEDS Falls!  I am not sure, but it really is pretty.
Then we headed towards Sherwood to go to the Sherwood Stone Store Museum. 
These two "docents" showed us around and explained the items inside.  Unfortunately, I was not allowed to take pictures inside, so I coerced them into posing for this shot.  

We stopped at an antique shop (very expensive) in Aurora and saw some beautiful buildings there.  We headed back to Watkins Glen and had supper at 
which is an Italian restaurant.  I had ravioli with meatballs, which came with a salad and garlic cheese bread.  It was delicious. 

We decided it was too early to return to our motel, so we went Watkins Glen State Park and hiked a short way down one of the trails.  
and then returned to our lodging.  It was a good day.
