Miss Victoria (Miss Aurora's new sister) and I decided to take you to some special places that we enjoy. Come along for a little Day Tripping in Tupper Lake (Wild Walk), Saratoga Springs (where I am standing watching the renovation of my favorite Adelphi Hotel), Lake Placid, and Burlington, VT (our beautiful neighbor). New York's Adirondack Mountains are known for it's summers where folks can leave the oppressive heat behind and enjoy the clean lakes and majestic mountains. At the resort we stay at in Lake Placid, radiant flowers grace the Mirror Lake Inn. Jill and her green-thumbed crew do a great job, and I always look forward to their Christmas lights as well. We also enjoyed having our grandson Xavier for an overnight stay!
We spent my birthday week at our camp in August enjoying laid back days and picnics on our little mountain. Guests and family enjoy our little camp and swimming in the clear lake. Most of our meals are eaten at the camp, usually prepared on the grill. Our summer ends on Labor Day weekend at the lake, and I’m going to enjoy every last minute.

The photos below were taken on our trip to Burlington, VT. Miss Victoria and I enjoyed Lake Champlain, the border between Vermont and New York. I did get caught in the rain though so we were a little soggy.
I am so enjoying the friendship with my fellow tote friends. Who would have thought that a tote bag could be our common thread!
