Another Great Weekend!

Another great weekend in New York snow country. My husband and I traveled to Highland Forest Park, outside of Syracuse. What a beautiful park. There is so much to do. Our trip to Highland Forest Park consisted of participating in the 2010 US National Snowshoe Championship Race. A good friend of the family ran the 10K. After the official race, there was a Citizen 5k snowshoe run/walk for anyone interested in joining in. Of course my husband and I joined in; we purchased new snowshoes before the event, so we had to use them! It was a lot of fun.

After our weekend in Syracuse, my husband and I traveled to Greek Peak Mountain Resort in Cortland, NY. More skiing! The resort also has an indoor waterpark.

It was a great weekend with a lot of winter fun and relaxation. So much to do in our own backyard!

Winter Wonderland

What a beautiful time of year. A few weekends back, my husband and I went to Naples. From there we overlooked Canandaigua Lake. The view was so picturesque; quiet and calm. On our weekend excursion we stayed at the Naples Hotel. A grand old hotel. Nice and quiet with a lovely room and a great dinner. Naples also has some cute Bed and Breakfast residences. Close to Bristol Mountain, we discovered Ontario County Park. What a great park to ski and snowshoe. It really is a beautiful time of year!
