Buttermilk Falls

My husband and I decided to take our 10th wedding anniversary off work and spend the day enjoying the fall weather.  It was a great decision!  We went to Ithaca to visit our favorite jeweler (the one who made our wedding rings) and then go for a walk at Buttermilk Falls.  I don't think the photos need much explanation.  Hope you enjoy our little stroll!
