Comments:
1. For all the atractions we visited, Niagara Falls and Corning Museum of Grass are two places you don't want to miss.
Watkins Glen State Park is an OK park.
The wineries at the fingerlakes area are very nice.
Headlands Beach State Park is just a place for you to have a good time at the lake erie beach. Our son enjoyed it very much.
2. For all the hotels we stayed during the trip, Quail Hollow Resort is the best. It is associated with a golf club where there are several golf course at the back of the hotel. The service is very good. You can have free access to pools and the exercise room. Here is a picture of the grassland and the hotel at the back.
3. TownePlace Suits Sterling Heights is located at a shopping area where you can have all kinds of shopping done within 5-10 minutes walk and drive.
4. Chinese restrarants in US are almost the same serving with American-Chinese food. We find Oriental Buffet is the best.
5. The Salvation Army Family Store in Utica is quite impressive. We bought cloths, toys and books for our son. Highly recommended.
