We left the
Holiday Inn in
South Burlington,
Vermont early today.
Joshua and
Justin loved the heated indoor pool, and were sad to leave it behind. But, we had a boat to catch, and by 9:30AM, we were cruising across
Lake Champlain between
Vermont and
New York on the
Valcour with our trusty
2006 Dodge Grand Caravan safely aboard. An hour later we docked in
New York at the foot of the
Adirondack's. We had originally planned to drive down to a hotel we had booked in the
Albany area, but
Jennifer wanted to visit her friend who was staying in
Eagle Bay, a 90-minute drive from where we were. So through the mountains we went, passing through several small towns including
Lake Placid, site of the 1932 and 1980
Winter Olympic Games. We walked around the town and I took a bunch of pictures of the event sites. Surprisingly,
Lake Placid was
very crowded, even in the summer. From there, it was another couple hours to
Eagle Bay, where we stopped for a visit and dinner.
Josh was happy to play with his buddy
Ian from school. Still, we had to hit the road for the drive towards our next destination...
Cooperstown.
AAA set us up at a
Red Carpet Inn just outside of town. It was an old hotel that really reminded me of the ones we used to stay at back in the 70's. It was clean enough for the night, and we are planing to leave early tomorrow, anyway...
