May 17, 2013: Today we packed up the kids and drove to Fort Ticonderoga, a historic battlefield at the north tip of Lake George and bottom of Lake Champlain. Jen really enjoyed it, especially walking through the same entrance as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and many others.

We bummed around Ticonderoga, NY for a bit. Grabbed some food and did a picnic next to a waterfall and covered bridge. From there it was up to the Adirondacks for a hike! We did a short little 3-miler, nothing too crazy. It was just nice to be the only people around, to hear nothing but ourselves, and to go exploring together!
