Trapp Family Lodge

Top of my bucket list.....check


View from our room.  The view is ever changing.  It has its own personality!



We went on a Von Trapp Family History tour.  It was very interesting.  The movie, Sound of Music used poet license and change a few of the facts.  The first born in the movie was a Girl, Liesel and the first born in real life was a boy.  Maria did not go their to be governess of all the kids.  Just tutor for one of the children that did not recover her strength after having scarlet fever.  We toured the family cemetery.



 We ate in the main dining room and when we got back to our room, they had turned down the bed.

Really nice bathroom!

Friday night, they held a Memorial Rodeo in the honor of Chris LeDoux.  Chris and Peggy LeDoux's daughter, Cindy, did barrel racing.  Casey LeDoux, who is 4 years old also ran the barrels.  Actually, Cindy ran, and Casey rode. Beau LeDoux, the youngest son, did bronco riding. Beau stayed on the entire ride.  Awesome!

Lake Placid, New York

Image
We travelled from Niagra Falls to Lake Placid, New York.  It was not in our itinerary, but then again, we do not really have one.  We were heading towards Maine and saw that Lake Placid was just a little way off our path.  So....side trip! We stayed at the Lake House overlooking Mirror Lake. Our room was rustic with a beautiful view. We toured the town and ate at a brewery. Again, we walked over 2 miles.  The next day we toured the Olympic Center.  The 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics were held at Lake Placid. On the way out of town to Trapp Family Lodge, we went to the Olympic Ski area and took the tram to the top.  I do not like heights.  Freaked me out.  Mike loved it. Not loving it!!!
