Thompkins Campground, Cowanesque Lake, USACE, Lawrenceville, PA; June 6-13, 2016

We'd been to Thompkins a couple of years before and were looking forward to returning. We had wanted to visit Corning Glass Museum before, so that was the main thing on our agenda. We found a nice little diner , Dana's, where we enjoyed a couple of good breakfast, but the weather was rainy and cool so didn't get much as far as outdoor things done.

The Corning museum was definitely worth the wait. The admission is $15 for seniors, but we were both wowed by the exhibits. There were thousands of pieces of glass on display – modern and historic pieces, live demonstrations, an opportunity to make your own glass in a 40 minute class, take a one day or a 10 week-long course I've included lots of photos, none of which show the true beauty or magnitude of the museum, which covers 3,500 years of history and glass from all over the world. They offer free shuttle service from the parking lot to the museum to a nice shopping district with lots of restaurants, so parking and lunch are no problem. Do be sure to go if you are ever nearby.

Now, we're off to Chenango Valley State Park in New York for a couple of weeks.
