We spent a long weekend in Wilton, CT and we managed to rent a really nice house.
People always ask for the house tours, so here is a tour complete with drone footage (I really went all out with this one).
Hanging Out With A Sloth
I took my son on a long weekend to SeaQuest in Trumbull, CT to have a live sloth experience.
Ben was able to pet and feed Flash the two-toed sloth and watch another one…sleep (lol).
SeaQuest had other fish and animals available for interactions and it was a good time.
Mid Autumn Festival Snack Box
We have been subscribing to snack box service Bokksu for a few years and my son recently started taking Japanese lessons so I thought it would be a fun idea for him to do a review video.
The September box had a Mid Autumn festival theme and featured more chocolate and mochi based treats than usual (much to Ben’s chagrin).
Lake George Vacation House Tour
People gave me a hard time last year for not doing a proper tour of the rental house we stayed at. Since we stayed at the same place this year, I made it a priority to do a walk-through.
Lake George: Boating Adventure Part 2
We scheduled TWO boating trips during our stay at Lake George this year (book at least a month in advance).
It was fortunate that we did schedule two trips because the first tour had terrible weather. This trip was much better and it gave us a chance to do some cliff jumping.
Captain Joe did a great job and I highly recommend Lake George Island Boat Tours (518-469-8745).
Note: All filming was captured on a GoPro 7
Hanging Out In Chestertown (NY)
Our base of operations during our Lake George vacation was Chestertown, NY.
I like Chestertown better than Lake George proper because there are less tourists, less traffic. The house we stayed at had everything you could want in walking distance (breakfast spot, a few bars, and a grocery store).
This is some footage of us hanging around the town and at the house and hitting up our favorite local shop the Main Street Ice Cream Parlor (the owner and staff are the nicest people).
