End of Summer Get-a Way!

School starts soon and we were looking to get out of Wappingers Falls for a bit
Lake George, NY.
We went to Fort Ticonderoga,
There were cannons everywhere

There was some entertainment

Exploring the fort
By the way our kids thought this was boring...




Fort Ticonderoga National Historic Landmark



Pre-cell phone days
Remember when you needed a quarter to make a call from a phone booth??


We stayed at the Great Escape Lodge

which has an indoor water park.

Needless to say our kids really enjoyed this part of the trip.




Scott enjoyed a beer



Indoor water park features 9 water rides/slides

Ah! pay phones, I hated them, most of the time they ripped you off and you were SOL! at least with the cell you can B***H and get something out of them besides a phone call! hehehe.Life is good when you can still do more then pay bills with your money!Looks like a fun stay no matter what the kids think!! They are blessed and lucky for the memories, wish I was a stow a way!!!!!!
