| Next on our stop was the historic hotel called the Sagamore. Situated in Bolton Landing on the shores of Lake George, it's called the QUEEN OF AMERICAN LAKES!! How lovely is that? |

| A 1-1/2 hour trip on the Morgan takes you all around this gorgeous lake. Enjoy the sights and light fare as you cruise by beautiful Adirondack style homes with matching boathouses. Hotel guests should make reservations upon your arrival. It fills up fast. |

| In May of 1791, Thomas Jefferson, then Secretary of State and James Madison jogged northward up the Hudson Valley and through Lake George on a fishing trip which they referred to as a "Botanizing Expedition." Jefferson who always delighted in doing out of the ordinary, wrote letters to his daughters on the bark of the paper birch tree. They are known as the"Birchbark Letters." In the above, you will see how he extols the beauty of Lake George. |

| The golf course is just two miles away! It has great views of the lake along with a challenging course, cocktails and dinner! Reservations are recommended for all restaurants. |

Saratoga is a great place. We have been going to the races in Saratoga for over 25 years. The race track has such charm and history and the town is beautiful.
