Since we spent most of the first day at the cabin, we decided we would do some exploring the second day. We started off stopping at a Zingerman's type bakery for breakfast. If we lived in Ithaca this would definitely be a favorite spot to eat at! Fresh bread, good cheese, any type of breakfast food or sandwhich you could ever want! My mouth is watering just thinking about all that good food! After we filled our tummies we drove a very short distance to one of the State Parks. One of the best parts about Ithaca is that the state parks are in town, and the you can basically drive right up to the beautiful waterfalls! There are also trails to hike on if you don't have a 4 year old with you and want more scenic views. We'll try those when Brett is older :-)
Brett was all smiles when we got out of the car, ready to explore!
We walked a very short distance from our car to find this.
And then we followed the "Gorge Trail" to the first look out area to see some more beautiful views! Brett really enjoyed the small hike and did a great job!
I wanted to walk out there too, but held back because Brett was with us. Next time for sure!!
Our view from the look out area. How awesome is that?!
Once we finished our little hike it was time for a swim in the cold, refreshing water at the bottom of the waterfall. Life doesn't get much better that this!
Brett preferred to sit on the edge and enjoy the splashes from daddy :-)
After our refreshing swim we drove back to the cabin for some quiet time before checking out another state park with another beautiful waterfall! It was picture perfect :-)
We then went out to dinner at a local seafood restaurant. Another amazing meal -and a great way to end the wonderful day that we had! :-)
I already want to go back!!
