Lake George

…Day Tripper

Hello Everyone,

I did it I ventured out!! Wow a big step!! My husband and I drove to Lake George NY. I have never been there and thought it would be a nice ride from Vermont where I live and check it out. The Hotels are open there along with outdoor seating and some indoor seating. The outlets are open and some novelty shops too. There is also a site seeing cruise line they have for one hour you can take which you have to schedule. We didn’t do that but would like to sometime. The lake is Beautiful very Big!! and the town lines the lake mostly. The area is a strip along the lake with shops, restaurants, mini golf, amusement areas, RV parks and a lot of things. You could tell it must be packed normally because it was quite busy now. It looks like it would be good place to take kids.

We booked a room at Hampton Inn be careful there are two so be sure you know the directions if you stay at one. I usually stay at Hilton’s or Marriott’s that way I know what I’m getting. There is a beautiful Marriott in town that looks really nice too. We checked in with masked on and they had six feet apart check in and the front desk clerk was wearing a mask also. Check-in went well. We venture up to our room and I brought cleaning supplies and paper towels. I had gloves on for check in and opening hotel door. I cleaned sink faucet and bathroom area with cleaner while I had gloves on and the remote although I probably didn’t need to everything was clean even the remote had a sticker around it and the door had a strip on it saying the room was clean. I was being cautious. I then took paper towels and put them along the bathroom sink area and on the desk area and the bed stand. This way my bathroom stuff was on a paper towel the faucet I cleaned and anything I set down on desk area was on a paper towel and the night stand like our phones on paper towel. That all took 10 minutes but it helped us to feel safer. Then off we went to explore the area. The first place we went was the OUTLETS I have been starving to shop I mean really shop see things and touch things you know. The shops were very cautious with masks six feet apart and Sanitizer everywhere. I used Sanitizer after every checkout. Most places will not let you try things on but oh well at least you can see and feel things. Well we shopped for two hours and we both bought things me more of course but hey its been awhile I felt I like I needed some new things and the deals were great!! You can’t imagine what I got for the money. Some winter stuff was on sale because they were not able to sell it during those months. OK after that we went down near town parked and walked in front of the lake and took some Photo’s and admired the Beautiful lake!! Popped into maybe one more shop then time to find a place to eat. We were looking for outside but didn’t know where to go and the ones I called were booked. Make sure even now to book ahead. We had asked the front desk where they suggest as I always do. The locals know the best spots. She had recommended Log Jam Restaurant which we called and remind you is a little out of town and they were full and recommended the Caldwell House which both are like log cabins. I thought one recommendation to another and I knew were local so called and we were able to get a high top in the bar fine. Inside though first time we have been out to eat in months. We went and the place was being very cautious with all staff wearing masks and tables spread apart. I have to say it was very warm anyway and it was nice to have air conditioning. The restaurant was cute and the staff was awesome and the Food was Great!! It wasn’t like normal its weird wearing mask and everything but it was nice to be out and we did enjoy it. You have to take baby steps with caution. That was all we did back to the room. It was a beginning and It was nice to venture out. I would just say wear your mask be cautious wash hands sanitize and at least you can go do something.
