Journal day two with the mummies

This day the 5th day of June (my birthday) we were still visiting my father in N. Tonawanda.  We went over to the Buffalo museum (it was a dreary day-weather-wise) to see the Mummies exhibit.  If you have a chance and this exhibit is near you ..... go see it.  It's very interesting and informative besides you will see all types of mummies other than Egyptian.  Even skeletons of pets and shrunken heads!  For this journal page I just took those mini distress ink pads and pressed them to the page then used my water brush to move some of the color around.  Simple because remember I was only using what I had purchased while there.

Finger Lakes & Erie Canal

Last week we (me and my husband) were away on a little getaway starting off by staying overnight in the Finger Lakes area of NY.  If you look at the photo on the left you will see the only view we saw of any lakes in the Finger Lake area of NY.  We drove around for hours trying to find the lakes and this was all we found even though at the hotel when I asked where all the lakes were......I was told they are all over here.  We left and met up with my brother and his family in Buffalo area.  While we were trying to find the lakes my brother and his family went and found the Erie Canal!  they said it was a lot of fun and very informative.  Seems they had a more productive day then us.  lol!  

Here are a couple more photos of the carrousel we saw in N. Tonawanda.  These photos were take by my niece who is a budding photographer.   You can see Kimberly in the photo above at the Erie Canal taken by my brother.  Hope you enjoy seeing my little photo album of our getaway.

more from N. Tonawanda

Been visiting my father in N. Tonawanda (Buffalo) , N.Y. for the past 5 years since he moved there and always saw a sign about a Carrousel museum but never thought much about it.....until this year because my S-I-L (see pic) wanted to check it out.  Sooooooooooo we did.  It is a very small museum but the carrousel is cool.  It is in a red building .... want to say a barn but not really..... so let's just say a red building.  Kimberly took a ride but she was more excited to talk to the woman controlling the ride.  The woman was so impressed with this young girl asking questions she took her over to the mechanics of the ride and explained it to her.  After the that we left and took our father out to dinner. 

Back from Buffalo

Did you miss me?  did you know I was gone?  probably not because I scheduled posts while I was away visiting with family in Buffalo actually N. Tonawanda, NY.  Just easier to tell everyone Buffalo which is only about a half hour away in one direction and Niagara Falls in the other.  It always blows my mind that the Canada border is only half hour away from where my father lives now.  We had a good visit and we went on the Maid of the Mist at the Falls....fun time but boy do you get wet! 

Before my husband and I got to my fathers' we stayed over night (at finger lakes about 3 hrs. away) just for a rest since it is such a long drive for us to get to Buffalo.  Check out this table at the hotel we stayed at.......cool, huh?  I thought so and I bet a friend of mine will, too.  I will have to email her the other pics we took of it.  Well, that's it for now.  be back soon.
