6 States, 13 Days, 1879 miles

We just returned from our 2 week trip to New York! We spent 5 nights in a tent in Old Forge, NY in the Adirondack Mountains, where we slept in a tent and ate s'mores every single night! The week before we left Abby learned to go potty, one week later she was a pro at peeing in the woods!

The next leg of our trip was at a resort in Lake George. After 5 nights in a tent, it was great to be in a real bed and to have a bathroom just steps away!

The last leg of our trip brought up to Poughkeepise for a family wedding. We met up with Matt's family and tried to stay cool in the 104 degree weather. We ended the trip with day in New York City where the kids saw Lady Liberty and hung out in Cental Park!

The kids are exhausted and I am nearly buried underneath the pile of laundry that came out of the minivan! If you ask the kids their favorite part of the trip, they may answer that it was...

Having S'mores by the campfire


Sleeping in the tent




Hiking up Bald Mountain

Taking the Adirondack Scenic Railroad


Canoeing on Moose River

or possibly, taking the New York City subway
Whatever their answer, it was a fantastic trip! (But I'm happy to be home!)
