Today the weather somewhat cooperated. It was cool and cloudy and we had some light rain on and off, but no downpours. We ended up going to Lake Placid and checking out the Winter Olympic Museum. We also walked Main Street in Lake Placid which was actually quite nice. We learned a lot about the Olympic Games from the museum and purchased a few souvenirs on Main Street.
We thought it was interesting that in front of the Olympic Center there is a pile of snow. Of course we had to take pictures with the snow. We watched some figure skaters practicing in the arena before going into the museum. As we walked along Main Street we found a store that had all sorts of "rustic" furniture and accessories. Very cool, but very expensive! We were daydreaming about some of the pieces and only ended up buying some stickers for the back of our camper.
We wanted to go the the top of Whiteface Mountain, but the summit was covered in clouds again, so what was the point? We will try that again tomorrow, because the sun is actually supposed to be out tomorrow! The sun peaked out during dinner tonight, and Rod and I went for a bike ride around the campsite and we walked down to the Ausable River from the campsite. We also found that there is a restaurant within walking distance of the campsite, with a trail that practically leads there, so that is where we are going to go eat dinner tomorrow night for our anniversary.
The kids went to see another movie tonight in the main hall and Sheldon rode his bike and made a new friend this afternoon. Brianna hasn't met any girls her age here. Hopefully tomorrow and Friday more campers will arrive for the weekend and maybe there will be someone for her to hang out with. She did talk to Nina for a while today, but she forgot to call her back. I'm sure they will talk again tomorrow.
Praying for the sun to come out tomorrow so we can go to the top of Whiteface Mountain and also go to the High Falls Gorge and then spend time at the POOL!
