Agenda
Day 1

*When we have had enough, we will a pit stop at a local NY winery on our way back to the AirBnB.
*The rest of the first day will be spent working on UFO's, sharing laughs, a home cooked meal and perhaps some more drinks to top it off.
Day 2
*We will have breakfast at our rental then pack lunch and go digging for Herkimer Diamonds!
*We will find something to do on our way back, maybe a little antiquing or visit a local museum. If we have not gotten enough wine, I am sure there is another winery we visit.
*We will have an early dinner at the iconic Dinosaur BBQ restaurant. Before heading back to the rental to do some more hanging out.
