The place we stayed in Lake George, NY last weekend was called Silver Bay and was run by the YMCA of the Adirondacks. It was a very special place and our room was in a historic inn that overlooked the lake and was set on acres and acres of beautiful grounds.
Historic also means there was no air conditioning and no cell phone service. Since it was 95 degrees when we arrived and our room was on the 2nd floor, we had a very hot night of sleep on Saturday. S&Z did great, though, and slept straight through from 10pm-7am.
My friend, Lisa and her fiance Carlos traveled for the shower as well. They were a huge help all weekend! I wouldn't have been able to unload the car and get everything set up in the room without their help! On Sunday morning we all ate breakfast together in the dining hall of the inn, and then we set out to explore the grounds of Silver Bay. It was a really beautiful spot!
After walking around and spending some time on the beach, Lisa & Carlos decided to play some volleyball so me & the kids set out to find a playground. There were riding toys,
A really nice mom and her twins that were 27 months old (she kept saying, "I can't believe you're here by yourself!!!"),
And a sandbox, which is Silas' favorite spot to be this summer.
I was so happy that I managed to coax Zoe and Silas to take a nap in the room before we headed to the baby shower later in the afternoon.

In order to take a shower each morning I figured out to put them back in one of the pack-n-plays and put on a "bideo". Thank goodness Silver Bay did have wireless. "Yo Gabba Gabba" gave me 23 minutes to shower and get organized for the day!

After a fun afternoon spent at the shower and a quick dinner in the dining hall at Silver Bay, we walked around the grounds at dusk.
I was so happy that I pushed myself to make this trip alone, even though Derek couldn't come with me. I proved to myself that I can do almost anything. Silver Bay was a special place that I was meant to discover, and I think we will be making some happy family memories here in summers to come!!!
