Cole's First Trip to Lake Placid

We didn't do much in Lake Placid, but I guess that's the point of a weekend getaway, right? We did learn a few things.
1. Cole does not fall asleep well in hotel rooms.
2. Hotel cribs are not for sleeping in.
3. Cole likes to kiss mirrors
4. The Peekaru vest is nice if you're spending all of your time outside, but if you're going in and out of stores, not so much.
5. Cole likes fires - well at least fires in fireplaces and/or wood stoves.
6. It doesn't matter where we are - if it's after 6 p.m. Cole is going to get cranky.
7. Driving in the car can still put Cole to sleep (this is both a blessing and a curse).
8. It pays to tell the hotel people you have a baby - they put us in the corner room where we (hopefully) only woke up our neighbors adjacent to us when Cole had a screaming fit the second night there.
9. Lake Placid is cold.
10. The Adirondacks in winter is beautiful (although we kinda knew that already).

Here are the photos...

This is mainly what Cole did in the crib. He slept in it for all of 15 minutes.
