Well after leaving at 2pm. We started our drive. What a easy drive - well except the constant question from Zack - "Are we there yet?" But we found a great solution - I found a game at Klems called - you got it - 'Are we there yet?' - so everytime someone asked the question we had to play the game. It basically is a scavenger hunt. I would highly recommend it to anyone traveling by car!
We arrived in Lake George at 5pm making great time. Our hotel for the stay is Wyndham by Wingate, right in the center of Lake George. Our hotel room has a fridge and microwave in it. After checking in and unpacking we decided to head out to find somewhere to eat. First we drove into Lake George center.
I have not been here since 1989 (The disasterous camping trip!) But as I drove down the strip I found myself telling the kids either about places that are still there - A&W Rootbeer, the campground. - but also about what used to be there - Gaslight Village :(
But I also had things I forgot about until I saw them - The House of Frankenstein - we used to have to walk on the other side of the street because Frankenstein would be outside and my sister was afraid of him!
We turned around and headed towards Glens Falls. Originally we were going looking for Long John Silvers - but we came across Johnny Rockets and my kids begged me to go there. So we went in and the waitress seated us in the sports bar - in the Red Sox/Patriots section (maybe it was because Zack had his Patriots shirt on). I think we had the waitress in awe. She delivered our food, went to the kitchen and when she came back to ask if everything was ok - Nick had INHALED his burger - it was COMPLETELY gone. I don't think the waitress knew what to say. They have all you can eat fries - so after Nick had seconds she also packed him a box of fries to take home.
We headed back to the hotel and the kids took a swim in the pool. We headed back to the room and headed to bed.
