Family, The Kids, Travel

By George, we had a great time!

After a few special days on the farm, we continued north to Lake George, NY for more family R&R!

We stayed at a tiny, laid back, 1940’s resort on Plum Point, a few miles outside of the Lake George Village. A few years ago the hotel owners converted the actual boathouse into a small apartment for guests, aka our home for the next few nights.

It was awesome! Two bedrooms, living room and kitchen just floating on the lake. The views were absolutely stunning! It’s the definition of ‘lake views’ and ‘water front’.

The boys quickly became obsessed with the Minne Ha Ha, an old paddle boat that would make the rounds by our boathouse a few times a day. ‘More whistle, pease!’

One morning we took a ‘hike’ to Shelving Rock falls. Andrew was super into hiking and exploring. He packed snacks and water in his little back pack and was blazing the trail. Meanwhile we had to bribe Teddy every 5 steps with Teddy Grahams and Goldfish. I’ll let you decide which child takes after which parent when it comes to hiking…

On our last day we rode the Minne Ha Ha, had lunch at the Sagamore Hotel and made good on our promise (aka bribe) to visit the arcade.

Before heading home I was determined to get a nice, maybe Christmas card worthy, picture of the boys. Our photo shoot:

And then, they nailed it. Coming soon to a Christmas card near you!

Thanks for the memories Lake George! I’ll dream of our coffee and peaceful mornings together. Until we meet again!
