Our first trip of the year was to Lake Placid, New York. The Adirondacks is a family favorite of ours; we weren't able to get there last Summer because of our big road trip, so we came up for Christmas week to get our Adirondack "fix". We rented a cabin at another old favorite, the Wilderness Inn II, which is a cabin cluster and fun restaurant/bar in Wilmington, NY. This family-owned resort is headed by a former NYC Rockette who, though now in her 90s, still greets guests in the restaurant.
We had perfect weather, lots of snow, though not too cold, and the kids were able to go tubing, sledding (and dogsledding), make snowmen, and go cross country skiing.
