Lake Placid NY - Keels go to Canada day 19

 We actually got to see fall colors! It wasn't peak but for this Florida family it might as well have been. Anything beyond roundup sprayed on a bush is amazing for us!
 
 
 We drove through New Hampshire and Vermont to get to Lake Placid New York. Lots of pretty sights, especially through White Mountain National Forest.
 
 
 Chloe liked the rocking chair in the Vermont Visitors Center.
 
 The gentleman at the visitors center suggested a place to eat for lunch, when we pulled in I took this picture of another sign we never see in Florida. We got to the door to find out that today they were closed at noon because of a funeral. No lunch for us here.
 We ended up at a truck stop a few miles down the road and had great food. It was a welcomed break since the AC had started acting up in our van and wasn't working all the time. This was also the time we started running the portable diffuser, mom needed a little Peace and Calming, ok everyone needed it.

  
We finally arrived in New York.
 
 Our destination was Lake Placid, where the winter Olympics were held in 1932 & 1980. We stayed at the Crown Plaza and man what a view!
 You see the ski jump in the background to the right of the middle and to the left of the middle in the mountain you can see the bob sled track!
 
 Our accommodations were great, bathroom had a garden bath and shower!
 Bedroom was with a view and had a fireplace!
 Chloe loved the yard from our room porch.
 Now this pool. This pool was amazing! Indoor, built in hot tub, and huge sitting area. The pool was also warm enough for mom and dad to actually get in!
 See this patio/sitting area in the pool room????
And we had it all to ourselves for most of the time we were at the pool. By far my favorite pool of the trip. Such a beautiful location and great hotel!
