on our way toward the mountains, we accidentally stumbled across the towering stone walls of Dannemora. For a split second, it looked like some forgotten castle hidden in the Adirondacks. Then the reality of what it actually was settled in heavily. What started as a beautiful drive through spring mountains quickly turned into one of the strangest feelings I’ve had in a long time.

Another weekend trip wondering around the massive adirondack mountains

Nearly every weekend we go for a little drive. We don’t plan it, we don’t go prepared, just grab a few diapers for little Emerald, a few snacks for us and we hit the road for a few hours. I absolutely love it. When I was a kid we did the same thing and I remember having some of the best conversations as a family while my dad pretended he was lost. My favorite memories growing up are from those random car rides. I love that we do that too. It was something Dave already enjoyed
