Our Trip to Lake Placid

After the dental office finally opened John and I decided to go away for a weekend to Lake Placid at the end of September. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in the fall. It was a perfect fall weekend. The weather was crisp and cool. The color was just about at peek conditions. We stayed at the Interlaken Inn, a small bed and breakfast on Mirror Lake. For those of you who are not familiar with the Lake Placid area, the downtown area of Lake Placid actually follows the shoreline of a smaller lake called Mirror Lake. No motor boats are allowed on Mirror Lake and there is an awesome, very low tech, toboggan slide in the winter where you can actually pay $5 for the day and toboggan right onto Mirron Lake. There is a small slip of land on the north end of Mirror Lake which separates it from the very large Lake Placid. Lake Placid historically has been the summer homes of Kate Smith, and Noel Coward, to name a few. Not to mention the 1932 and 1980 Olympics Games. (Maybe there have been more Olympic Games there. I'm not sure about that.) Anyway, Mirror Lake is a little over 3 miles around and Saturday morning John and I took a walk around the lake. We ate dinner at the Mirror Lake Inn one night and at the Interlaken Inn another night. It was heaven. Check out the slideshow below to see more photos of our trip.
