Hubby and I went for a little drive and spent the day of our anniversary at Corning Museum of Glass. It was so much fun spending the day with him, without having to stress over little fingers touching (and very likely breaking) the glass pretties we saw! I love having random days to live, laugh and love together while growing a healthy relationship with my Hubby!
About 12 anniversaries ago we started taking pictures of our feet, Not sure why, but we didn’t miss this tradition this year! It always has been by something significant about how we spent the anniversary, like in the sand, or in this case by the sign painted on the sidewalk as you walk up to the museum.
The museum does have a hands-on section, but the majority of it is not overly kid-friendly, although there were many kids there. Hubby and I got some really funny pictures! It’s amazing how much glass distorts things!
We also managed to get into a glass-blowing show. It is actually amazing how easy they make the process look! They are so detailed in explaining the whole process of making a beautiful vase and then they drop it into a bucket of water to show how important it is to complete the process properly. What’s really unexpected is the boiling of the water due to the 1,000+ degree temperature of the vase!
Corning, NY is a very quaint little spot to visit itself. We ate at a delicious wood-baked pizza shop right across the street from a glass shop. The main touristy street houses many shops I would have loved to checked out had it not been a Sunday. I think many of them might have been opened, but at a later time than would have allowed us to still take in the glass museum. I would love to go again! (Also, I was told if you hold onto your receipt you can show it for free admission for the rest of the year. I’m not sure if this is accurate or not…)
