Falling Water, Mill Run , PA
August 2012, I took a few days away from the inn and traveled with my daughter Jody, and friend Kris to Mill Run, PA to see the infamous “Falling Water”. www.falllingwater.org The Frank Lloyd Wright house built as a vacation home for the Kaufman family from Pittsburg, PA. The house is a true Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece in art and architecture. It was amazing!
Sunset at the Historic Summit Inn Resort, Farmington, PA
While we were there, we stayed at the Historic Summit Inn Resort, Farmington, PA www.summitinnresort.com Built in 1907 this historic inn with grand verandas looking down upon a beautiful valley with the most spectacular sunsets imaginable. I highly recommend the trip.
