Today we are heading up to the Adirondacks… to Lake Placid!
Lake Placid brings back so much nostalgia for me. I used to go there every summer as a little girl, to attend a summer figure skating program at the Olympic Arena. Yep, I used to be a figure skater when I was younger, gliding through the ice doing leaps and bounds and jumps and spins.
I found this amazing photograph by New Yorkled on Flickr that perfectly captures my memory of Lake Placid. This was taken in the summer, but winter is equally as beautiful up in the Adirondack Mountains.
The Empire State Winter Games are happening this weekend, which means we’ll get to take full advantage of viewing the Olympic Facilities. My cousin Phoebe and Aunt Holly live in Lake Placid too, and they’re the owners of three successful restaurants, all of which I can’t wait to try. It’s sure to be a great weekend and I can’t wait to get there and start the experience!
