Lake George, day 1

I made it through the first day of vacation, and I've stayed on program.  We went to Golden Corral for dinner, and I didn't eat anything shiny or fried!  I had fruit for dessert, okay, I had a little whipped topping on my strawberries, but that's it.  Yeah, I ate more than I needed to, but I think I've stayed w/in my daily points allotment.  Woo Hoo!

We left almost on time this morning.  If we hadn't forgotten a few things and had to drive around the block and go back home a couple of times, we would have been about 5 minutes ahead of schedule.  It ended up being about 15 minutes later than we planned to leave, but that's pretty good.  Traffic wasn't too bad, and we got to Warrensburg around lunchtime.  Hubby had picked out a little bistro that serves fresh, health food.  I had a veggie wrap.  Lots of fresh greens, tomatoes, and some feta cheese.  Very delicious. So, if you ever want a good lunch in Warrensburg, NY go to Willow's Bistro on Main Street.

Then we went to the garnet mine. Many of the mountains in the Adirondacks are rich in garnets.  Gore Mountain has a ski resort on one side and the garnet mine 'round the other side.  We picked up several interesting chunks of garnet, but didn't even collect a pound of rocks!  I also replaced a pair of earrings that I had lost.  Of course, by the time we were checking out at the mine's gift store, it had started raining.  Gotta love driving through the mountains in the rain.  Not so much.

Checked into the motel and watched it rain for a couple hours.  #1 daughter joined us in the evening and we went to dinner.  I think I did okay, but could have done a little more walking.  But like I said, it started raining, and we just sorta sat around and watched it rain.

Tomorrow, hubby and I will take the 2 1/2 hour cruise on the lake.  It should be nice.  The girls are going to Great Escape (a Six Flags amusement park).  I hope they don't kill each other!
