This past January, Red and I took a weekend getaway to Lake Placid. Since I never got around to posting about it, I thought I would share some pictures with you. First of all, we stayed at Whiteface Lodge. For my military friends, they offer an incredible rate at almost 70% off the the regular room price and 50% off food and certain spa packages. It has a luxurious cabin vibe and is ranked number 3 in top 10 American Spa Hotels. Not to mention, Lake Placid itself is a gorgeous place. In the winter you can enjoy dog sledding across Mirror lake, skiing, touring Olympic sites, snowshoeing, ice skating, and bob sled rides. The summer is their peak season with kayaking, hiking, rock climbing and other outdoor activities.

One night, Red and I decided to take advantage of the outdoor ice skating rink. They have a hut with skates, snow shoes, and hot chocolate so you can just come and go as you please. It was only 5 degrees, but we had so much fun having the rink to ourselves.
