Heading East





After Wisconsin, we headed East to spend a week in the Adirondacks before wrapping up our vacation. At this point, we have a little bit of road burnout so we're not really stopping at attractions along the way. We made a quick stop at Niagara Falls, (photos above) followed by a nice afternoon in Seneca Falls at the Women's Rights National Historic Park. Seneca Falls and the Finger Lakes make a nice stopover anyway, but it was especially nice to come here this week, which marks the 90th anniversary of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote. (Above is photo of the girls at the Center. The statuary group in the picture are of the conveners of the first Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls in 1848).

Beginning tomorrow, we'll be camping at Paradox Lake, near Schroon Lake, until September 1. We've been vacationing at Paradox Lake for many years; while it has been great seeing so many new places this Summer, it will be nice to top it off with a visit to someplace well-loved and familiar.
