We had a great time doing The Heist and Cold Case at the Museum of Intrigue! It is a very innovative, first of its kind approach to escape rooms!

The kids had fun racing at RPM Raceway in Syracuse. I was impressed with their electric karts. Very cool! 🏎

We had a fun (and very hot) hike down and back up the Gorge Trail at Watkins Glen State Park. The trail wound around the water and through rock tunnels.
