First Camping Trip--Beginning of Summer

Tuesday, May 26, 2009

Memorial Day always marks the beginning of summer in my Texan mind. In my mind, somewhere in Texas the thermometer is nearing 100 and school is out. Its not the case in NJ. Temperatures in NJ may still be in the 60s and school has a few more weeks until summer break, but old habits die hard.
This past Memorial Day weekend we took the RV out for the first camping trip of 2009. We went to Lake George and had a great, relaxing weekend. The only disappointment was that it was cold on Saturday and we didn't swim and that the campsite didn't have Sp*eed Channel and Matt couldn't watch the Grand Prix of Mona*co.
The town of Lake George was dead. Last time we visited, in September 2008, it was busy and bustling. Not so this time. The town itself is touristy but the lake is gorgeous. This time we went further afield, hiking on Prospect Mountain and driving the western bank of the lake and finding a cute town, Bolton's Landing that we had dinner in on Sunday night.

I decided this year I am going to make a slide show of all our camping excursions. But, that will be in the fall. In the meantime, here are some photos from the weekend.
