Bucket List - New Yorjk

One time a few years ago we stayed in a CG near Lake George. The Village itself is a real tourist trap, but can be fun to eat and be entertained if you're into that kind of stuff. However, the best part of our vacation was going to Lake Placid and visiting all the Olympic sites. We watched ice skaters practicing on the olympic ice rink, checked out the site where the biatholon was held, went to the top of the 90 meter ski jump via elevator, saw freestyle skiers practicing jumps into a pool, and took a tour to the top of the new bobsled course. You can actually ride the original bobsled course in a wheeled sled, but I wasn't up for that.

The whole area is spectacularly beautiful and the views from the top of the mountains are amazing. My family still raves about that trip more than 10 years later.
