Wedding Planning and Hiking in the ADK's

This past weekend Jay and I headed to the High Peaks in the ADK's to do some wedding planning and hiking.  We stayed at a nice B&B called the Rooster Comb Inn.  Very cute and cozy!  The owners were very nice and accommodating. 

We started off on Saturday by visiting one of our favorite restaurants, just south of the main stretch in Lake Placid called Chair 6.  Really good food (best breakfast burrito EVER) and at a good price.  Left my camera in the car, of course...

After stuffing ourselves, we headed to the florist: Lake Placid Flower & Gift.  We met with the owner who helped us put together ideas and secure our date.  Lots of variegated orange/yellow/red mums with green ferns, with a few freesias mixed in my bouquet.  I don't have any photos and am unsure I can use others online...sorry. Anyways, she was very helpful and we were able to check one more thing off the wedding to do list!

THEN we hiked! Finally...good to get outside and hiking again.  We chose Dial Mountain.  In order to get to Dial you have to hike over 2 smaller mountains, both with good views.  Here are a few photos from the hike:



Also came across a cool barn...

The trails were wet and muddy, so we were covered by the time we got back to the car.  Headed back to the Inn, showered and went out to dinner at the Baxter Mountain Tavern.   SO GOOD - love the alfredo!

Sunday, we met with our amazing caterer Green Goddess at The Mountain House.  This is where we will be married! Tammy is wonderful to work with.  She has great ideas and has gone out of her way to help us with rentals and reception set-up.  The food is all organic and local and DELICIOUS.  Can't wait!

Overall we had a very successful and fun weekend! Looking forward to going back over Memorial Day weekend :)
