Waterfalls, Wildflowers & Mountains in the Adirondacks, NY: Part I

Hubby and I escaped kid-free to the Adirondacks / Lake Placid region of NY last week.  Neither of us had ever been and it was breathtakingly gorgeous. We came back feeling rested and relaxed. 

A few hours into our trip, we unexpectedly found that we had ferry the car across Lake Champlain.  Very cool... another first for both of us. 

On the ride across, we could see part of a building with several flags flying around it on a hill above the water.  The woman collecting the fee told us it was Fort Ticonderoga so we stopped in, had lunch and took a quick walk around.  Very cool place.

After I completed this blog post, I realized that as usual I got carried away so I will break it into two parts. 

WATERFALLS - the pictures don't do them justice:

In the picture below, can you see the girl in the black bikini near the top left of the waterfall?  There was a group of teenagers jumping off the rocks into the falls.  Yikes......

In the picture below, notice the two people on the bridge above the waterfall. This waterfall was huge

FORT TICONDEROGA (check out the cannons sticking out of the walls):

Hope you enjoyed the trip!
