RoadTrip: Day 1

My mom, the girls and I just got home from a four day road trip.  It was jam packed and lots of fun.

The trip began with a stop in Corning, NY to see and work with glass.  The museum is gorgeous.  Piece after piece of glass to take your breath away.  The girls would have gladly gone back the next day but we were off for another adventure.  In addition to the glass, we also took advantage of the programs that they offered to do some work with glass.  Elspeth fused glass to create wind chimes, my mom and Katrine created pendants with flame work while I made a Christmas ornament by glass blowing.  A lot of fun and the finished products are gorgeous but it was really hot work.
