I've lived in Rochester for 18 years, yet somehow never visited the famous Corning Museum of Glass in nearby Corning. During one of my many Rochester-to-Virginia road trips last year, I finally took a little detour and checked it out. Below, some scenes from the exhibits.

This museum was one of the unplanned treasures I discovered on my trip to your house in 2003. I now tell everyone who plans to be in that area that they must find the time to see it. It's a 10-star attraction.
