Little Falls, NY and Canandaigua Road trip IDEAS for Leslie and I for June birthday trip

 Herkimer 

               One of Central New York's most unique restaurants...the Beardslee Castle is a limestone castle built around 1860, where you dine inside thick stone walls in the heart of the Mohawk Valley. Located in Little Falls, here you     step into a warm, historic setting filled with soft lighting, stone arches, and quiet elegance. The main dining     room feels intimate and refined, serving fresh, well-prepared dishes paired with a strong wine list that     includes hard-to-find bottles. Downstairs, Beardslee Castle offers a totally different vibe in the Dungeon bar     and grill, where you can enjoy lighter fare, over 100 craft drinks, and even sit in a former jail cell. Throughout     the year, Murder Mystery Dinners bring live actors, shared clues, and family-style meals. After eating, you     can walk the grounds and gardens, ending the night feeling like you stepped back in time.- murder mystery     show $65

A fixture in downtown Herkimer for over 35 years, "Crazy Otto's Empire Diner" was purchased and restored in 2003 by it's current owners, Scott and Kim Tranter. The interior is decorated with movie and railroad memorabilia. The Tranter's have retained a tradition dating from the Crazy Otto days, whenever a train is heard passing they spin a wheel and someone at the counter wins a free meal. The menu (http://www.cnybb.com/CrazyOttos.htm) is extensive, food good and portions plentiful.

DAY EIGHT of Alaskan Cruise: Thursday, September 18, 2025 Skagway

 This was what I saw out the window when I got up. The RUBY PRINCESS had stopped and we were in Skagway!  We had breakfast at the Botticelli (I had a soft boiled egg, toast, oatmeal and a banana) and then we returned to our room to get ready for getting off the ship and going to Skagway.  We got tickets for Shuttle #10 and went down to wait to be called.  Things moved along fairly quickly. The shuttle boat was one of the lifeboats, it took us to the mainland.  This is a view of the RUBY PRINCESS from the port.   When we arrived we took a shuttle to the downtown area where we walked around a bit. The downtown area has a lot of interesting shops, etc. but we did not have time to go in many of them.  Here are a few pictures:    We found a geocaches in the library (hooray). And you can see it in this picture that I took.   We picked up a few free items from various jewelry stores.  There were a lot of jewelry stores, and we did ...

 Church was very good this morning.  After church, Betty, Jan, Maggie and I met up at Laport's for lunch.  I had the turkey dinner.  It was way too much food to eat in one sitting, so I brought most of it home with me.  Their turkey dinner on Sunday when it is one of their specials is a real good deal: only twelve dollars after the senior discount is used.  Our server automatically gave it to all four of us.  I suggested to Betty, Jan and Maggie that we do this every Sunday after church, going to a different restaurant every Sunday.   The 2022 Ladies Retreat was announced in the bulletin this morning.  Unfortunately for me, it starts the day after I plan to return to Lockport after my week in Allegany State Park with Leslie.  EVEN SO, I plan to go.  I could leave ASP one day early.  I will have to think about this more.  I think I will decide to leave ASP one day early so that I can have one full day and part of anoth...

THURSDAY March 17th, 2022 Saint Patricks Day

 I had to get up pretty early in order to get to Dr. Paul Wirth's office, just north of Williamsville for my procedure/surgery:  cutting out some squamous cells in my nose.  I got a tiny bit nervous because I thought I passed Sheridan Drive (where I was supposed to turn right off of Transit) so I pulled over into a parking lot and put my Navigator on and found out that I had not passed it.  The Navigator took me where I was going by a different route than I had planned, but it worked well, and I arrived about ten minutes before my seven-a.m. appointment.  Dr. Wirth is very pleasant, and he explained things well, and the procedure went well.  The only pain was when the anesthesia was administered via needle.  It does hurt pretty bad, but it is only a few seconds.  He kept apologizing.  Then he took whatever he took out to the lab and inspected it and came back to give me the verdict.   I think he said "it could not have gone better" ...
