Fun and Sun in the Adirondacks

We had a great day enjoying the beautiful Adirondack Mountains. We spent a few hours on the lake this morning. The Lodge is really busy this visit, and its nice to see and meet other people (and ducks) while we enjoy swimming, paddleboarding and kayaking. Sarah and Sam got all the way across the lake to a little island they wanted to see. They said they weren't even tired, and the lake is about a half mile across at that point.

We packed some things in the car and headed to Chris and Beth's for a nice bagel lunch, and played with their cats, dogs and giant goldfish.

Next we drove to the Natural Stone Bridge and Caves in Pottersville NY.see here . There are caves and other rock formations carved out by millions of years of water. We walked the whole trail and saw some interesting rocks and caves.

Sam got to pan for some interesting rocks and crystals.

After that we drove over the mountain to Bolton Landing on Lake George, and then up the hill to a hiking trail called the Pinnacle. see here . It took us over an hour but we all made it to the top and enjoyed the incredible views.

After we got back down we drove along the beautiful Lake Shore drive to Lake George Village, passing historic mansions and motel/ cabin groups. We parked in the Village and had dinner at Capri Pizza. Then we wandered the streets, bought souvenirs, saw Frankenstein 
and walked on the beach by the marina.

We topped the day off with a visit to Martha's Dandee Creme (of course). Today's flavor challenge has a twist. Hah! Get it?
