Lake Placid 2017

We just got back from a quick trip to Lake Placid for Emily and Ben’s wedding. Since we have not been back to upstate NY as a family since Kallie was 10 months old we flew in a few days early so we would have a chance to do some sightseeing before the wedding festivities. It is a perfect time of year to visit with the Fall leaves changing and to top it off we had beautiful weather. A few highlights were exploring the rivers, building a fort in the woods pretending we were on Naked and Afraid (well we weren’t Naked but you get the point, riding the Gondola up White Face Mountain (it was raining up top but the ride up had spectacular views, going to the Fall Leaves Festival to watch the ski jumpers – we even got to ride the chairlift to the top and an elevator to check out the top of the ski jumps (Crazy high . . . I would never jump) and of course exploring all the shops on the boardwalk in Lake Placid.

Outside of exploring, we spent time with family. We spent time with Mimi and Papa’s side of the family as well as getting quality time with the Doyle family. It was so fun to watch Kallie and her cousins meet for the first time (well technically the 2nd time for some of them but they were too young to remember). The wedding was beautiful and of course the Doyle side of the family danced until our feet hurt (Kallie too – she was a trooper the entire trip)

Although Lake Placid is (REALLY) far away (2 plane rides and a 2.5 hr. car ride) and it was a somewhat short trip we made the most of it and had so much fun. We packed our days with fun adventures and family time and can’t wait to go back.
