Settle in- this is the long version.
We took a trip up to the Finger Lakes of New York.
We took a trip up to the Finger Lakes of New York.
We stayed at the Wright's Cottages on Waneta Lake.
Mary Ann and Jim are two of the nicest people we've ever met!
And, nothing compares to watching the sunrise over the lake on a fall morning.
Penny and I really enjoyed the sunrise!
At the cottages, Penny made friends with some fisher men and some Canadians who were staying in the cottages next door. She also made friends with a little pig named Boo who lives on the trail near the cottages. We had so much fun walking around and playing on the lake. 
We hit up some wineries. Here are Missy and Eric at Keuka Lake Vineyards.
Mommy & Penny loved the fall decorations at Dr. Frank's.
And, we love the Eclipse wines at Heron Hill (Heron Hill had their Eclipse long before Twilight, but the decor fits perfectly).
We visited Keuka Lake Vineyards, Heron Hill Winery, Dr. Frank's Vinifera Wine Cellars, Fox Run Vineyards, Red Tail Ridge Winery, and Anthony Road Wine Cellars, Rooster Hill Vineyards and Keuka Spring Vineyards. We even visited the Keuka Brewing Company for some micro brew.
But, the main reason for our trip wasn't the lake, the cottage or the wine. We made the trip for our friends, Jeff & Keilee.
Daddy was the best man in Jeff & Keilee's wedding.
Doesn't Daddy look handsome?
Jeff & Keilee got married on the shore of Keuka Lake. It was one of the most beautiful wedding's we've ever been to. Jeff's uncle, Sid, officiated the ceremony and he gave the most beautiful wedding sermon I've ever heard. He also gave Jeff & Keilee a survival kit for their marriage. Inside the kit were everyday things like a paper clip to hold them together and an eraser to remember that everyone makes mistakes. I thought it was the perfect touch to an amazing ceremony. My pictures don't do justice to the beautiful bride & groom:
We had so much fun at the reception.
And, the wedding ended with a bonfire.
We loved roasting marshmallows over the fire.
This wasn't our first trip to the Finger Lakes. RC & I went on a wine trip with his parents, aunts and uncle in 2004. One of our favorite wineries, Dr. Frank's, has beautiful views of Keuka Lake and amazing wine. Here we are on Dr. Frank's porch in 2004:
Although things look the same from Dr. Frank's porch, our life has certainly changed between our two trips (marriage, house, baby). We think things are only getting better.

Daddy missed out on Dr. Frank's because he was getting ready for the wedding with Jeff.
