Epic D&D

 

Dad and I are ready for some Epic D&D tonight!

Check out one of the map pieces from it!

Uggghhh Outside

 

And why did we walk down the pier, through the stinky waves, to get here?  Can we go back now?

X-Mas in July at the Red Wings Game.. Could it get any worse?  At least our fellow Grinch is here.

So I brought a book.  It worked!

Wildewood Golf Adventure

 

Preparing to hit a shot just off the pond, hope it works.

And over the rickety bridge we go to get to the green.  That bridge is leaning badly

I mean the course is okay, not my favorite

Heading Home from Vacation

 

Back in my road trip position!

When we stopped for lunch, we ran into our neighbors from home! That was pretty crazy.

I had a great time!

Olympic Museum in Lake Placid

 

Lake Placid first hosted the Winter Olympics in 1932.

Getting up close and personal to the ice is pretty neat.

This is the Herb Brooks Arena where the US Hockey Team had a Miracle on Ice in 1980.

I think this was a gold medal winning vacation.

Even just the simulator for a bobsled run is too much for me.

We got to hold an actual Olympic Torch. Mom is passing me the torch. You're so punny!

The torch is pretty light! Ohno, am I getting punny too?

No worries, Dad and I will rock out to pass the torch- that isn't a pun.

USA wins! I win vacation!

The Last Dinner of Vacation

 

A little cool reading time before the food arrives.

And a final foosball game.

A Little D&D to Finish up the Fun

 

I put together an epic adventure!

Water Sports Back at the Hotel

 

Pedal boats seem my kinda ride.

 

Do you know how to steer this thing?!

Hi, Dad! This is actually really fun.

We're pretty far out on the water.

I'm going to make a big loop on Mirror Lake.

The scenery here is very pretty too.

Now we have to start pedaling back to the dock.

AHHH! The sun on the water is SO BRIGHT! I think I've been blinded.

Hi, Dad! We're on our way back to you!

A cloud! I can see to dock this thing.

Fishing Again outside Lake Placid

 

A new day, a new fishing spot. 

Finding the fish is kind of difficult.

I like the shade under the bridge, maybe they will too.

No luck here either, but I still had fun.

Wrap up to a Busy Day

 

We had a really fun day, and a really good dinner. I love vacation.

Fishing on the Way Back to Lake Placid

 

Sometimes all that humidity means it rains quick, but then it's nice for fishing.

I got my gear from the car.

I am so ready to catch a fish!

A little rain never stopped a fisherman.

There is a bend in the river here, I hope fish like it.

Instead of Where's Waldo?, this picture is Where am I? I'm in here!

I didn't catch anything, but I really enjoyed it.

Whiteface Mountain- At the Top & Back Down

 

We made it the to top! There are no railings.

Mom and I appreciate a nice bench after a hike.

The sign at the high point. It may be only 250 feet of elevation, but it was 10 times more steps!

We got a family group picture!

Dad and I totally rocked this climb.

Happy Birthday, Mom! This is pretty cool.

The view is awesome from every angle.

It feels a little weird to duck down on a mountain, but the shot looks cool.

I think they should name this spot Contemplation Point. 

Another great family group picture. 

It was a lot cooler at the summit, so refreshing.

Time to head back down.

Down is easier!

Mom agrees. And the view is still great.

Dad also thought that was awesome.

It was really hot and humid back in the valley, so we got A&W rootbeer floats.
