Another museum road trip yesterday. This time to Corning, N.Y., to the Corning Glass Museum. Pretty amazing place. Never seen so much cool glass in one place oin my life....And probably the largest gift shop I've ever seen. My buddy picked up a cool piece, and the price was on the bottom....It was over $15,000....I was like, don't drop it!!

Live glass blowing demos, 3 to choose from, many times a day.
