As we expected, the action really picks up around here on the weekends. The marina was bustling with boats coming and going from sunrise until after sunset. There was also live music on Thursday-Saturday evenings that we were able to enjoy from the convenience of our couch, as well from the chairs and tables around the tiki bar. On Saturday night we really enjoyed listening to a classic rock and blues cover band out of Binghamton, NY called Hot Dogs and Gin. The lead guitar player who has been with the band for seven years was sensational. Making it even more amazing is that he is only fourteen years old! Yes, that's right, he's been with the band for half his life. His name is Eamonn Hubert and not only does he play with this band, he was also with the touring company of the Broadway hit, "School of Rock". I'm certainly no musical expert, but I can tell you this young man could flat out play! To make the story even more amazing, he was diagnosed with autism at a young age. If you have a couple of minutes, go to google or YouTube and check out some of his videos and stories.............pretty incredible!
Sunday was all about Sunday Fun Day! After a late morning/early afternoon bike ride through Seneca Lake State Park we headed towards Canandaigua to Lincoln Hill Farms. This had been recommended to us by Cindy's (Beth's sister) friend who lives nearby. One again she was spot on with the recommendation. On Sunday afternoons the 95 acre multi-purpose facility hosts "Sunday Fun Day". In addition to being a working farm, there is also a venue that can host wedding and corporate events and a concert stage. There are numerous concerts and events throughout the summer and fall including Sunday Fun Day, which features live music on Sunday afternoons for the low cost of...........free! We enjoyed some of their delicious farm to table food from the Smokehouse while listening to a very talented trio of musicians. It was such a fun outing that we're already planning to go back next Sunday for what will be the final Sunday Fun Day of the summer.
It's now a Rainy-Day Monday, but that's alright. We'll keep ourselves busy with a few routine activities like hitting up some of the local thrift stores, a bit of shopping, sitting and walking by the lake between rain showers and just possibly addressing that pile of dirty clothes that have been piling up over the week. We'll also start laying out a game plan for the next few days. We're checking items off our "things to see and do list" pretty well, however for every one we check off we seem to add two or three!
