Ben travels quite a bit for his current job (which is a lot less than the guy before him because he's intentional about being home as much as possible) and it's starting to feel like a lot. So we decided that whenever possible, we're going to join him on trips. Trip #1 was to Lake Place, New York.
We drove up Thursday morning and our first stop was to the John Brown Farm.
If you look closely, you can see Maya's little head...she was determined to get on top of the rock with the kids.
We went for a little hike, which was perfect after the car ride.
Then we spontaneously stopped by the olympic ski jumping facility. We thought we would just look around, but ended up being able to watch some training!
And then took a gondola ride up to the very top. It definitely gave me a whole new appreciation for those athletes.
We made our way to our hotel and it was perfect. It had its own sliding glass door out to a private patio. It was great for Maya and I believe she approved of the accommodations (she loves sun bathing).
It also had a pool that the kids were in love with.
Ben and I were able to go for a run around the lake a few times and we explored the downtown area. The next day we went Kayaking and swimming.
It was so refreshing to get out of the city and soak up some lake life.
