We left our lovely Penn Yan B&B straight away after our last lovely breakfast and a final sweep of the room and packing up of necessary toiletries that we used that morning. BTW Our Bed and Breakfast is FOR SALE if you are looking to be an Inn Owner in Upstate New York.

We did not make it to Niagara Falls as we planned to do due to it being two hours in the opposite direction where we were going and decided it would just take too long and add additional driving hours to our trip. Plus we miscalculated our days.

So at the last minute the night before we booked a B&B in York Harbor, called the Inn at Tanglewood Hall. WE arrived there after about a 6 hour drive down the New York Thruway the Mass Turnpike and up into Maine. We arrived in York about 6 pm and were greeted by the Inn keepers and got a tour of the common areas and were shown to our room. It was a lovely room with a high canopy bed and two wing chairs, a large closet and a bathroom that was small and was once a secret passage to another part of the house. You literally had to step down two steps to get into it.

Our First night we went out to York Harbor and walked on the harbor beach and did the cliff walk which was nice. We watched the fog roll into the harbor which was magical. We did this after a very casual dinner at Ships Cellar Pub – a gastropub located in the lower portion of the York Harbor Inn. Once a livery stable this was transformed to the cabin of a fine sailing ship. Gorgeous to say the least. Very cozy. The food was good and the staff was nice.

Later in the evening we drove down to Long Sands Beach and went to a place which serves soft serve ice cream and the locals call it “The Blinking Cone” because of it’s huge blinking sugar cone of soft serve which lights up the area around the place. It’s highly popular, apparently. We took our cones of vanilla and rainbow jimmies out on the Long Sands and walked for a while. It was nice. After, we headed back to our inn for the night.
