Breakfast at Sprague’s Maple Farms and a Ride Through Allegany State Park
Yesterday, we enjoyed a full day of activity. At 8:00 AM Bob and I set out for breakfast at Sprague’s Maple Farms Restaurant and Pancake House in Portville, NY. Stacey (Bob’s daughter) and her boyfriend, Mike, accompanied us. If you click here, you will see that Sprague’s Maple Farms is quite a distance from our home. The excellent food, great service and total ambiance found at Sprague’s is definitely worth the ride.

Mike tasted a variety of maple syrups before our breakfast was served.

After breakfast we drove through Allegany State Park near Salamanca, NY, before heading home. We made a few picture stops while in the park.

I really like this picture of Stacey in black and white!
We saw a small deer, too, at the Thomas L. Kelly covered bridge. The deer was UNDERNEATH the bridge when we spotted him. I got out of the car, walked across the bridge and snapped a few pictures of the deer as he exited from under the bridge. There was a dog and two people ahead of me on the pathway leading to the bridge. The deer looked at me and looked at the dog, contemplating the best escape route. The deer finally took off in the woods behind him.

We returned home around 2:30 PM. Three hours later Bob and I were at his company’s Christmas party. I will post details of and photographs from the Christmas party in my next blog post, so stay tuned!
