Fall Fun Tour

Not sure if I mentioned this, but upstate New York is absolutely beautiful in the fall.  As such, a few of us decided to take a trip through some of the small towns in our current corner of the state and check out the foliage and other fall activities.  We discovered a winery in the nearby town of Ellicottville, and Kristen, Courtney and I set off in search of vino.  Yet, like all good adventures, we were quickly headed down a path we never expected.  A hand-painted sign for "Pumpkinville" sparked our interest.  And this is what followed:

Apple cider and pumpkin donuts sloshing in our stomachs, we headed to Ellicottville, where we tasted their entire compliment and each brought home a lovely bottle for ourselves:


And, lastly, we needed some retail therapy.  Kristen and Courtney were truly the "ladies about town":


These are the days I live for on tour: the chance to see another part of the country that I will likely never visit again, and to adventure with some new friends.  Kristen, Courtney and I named ourselves "Team Eck" (pronounced 'eeck'), and we're looking forward to many, many more adventures on this tour.
