Special birthday travels

 Since my birthday was on a Tuesday this year, we celebrated it on a Thursday and headed to New York State with our sights set on Tail O' The Pup.

It's a totally funky spot just north of Lake Placid with real barbecue ribs and such, lobsters from Maine and lots of total funkiness!

We're talking over-sized wooden folk art lobsters!

What to choose, what to choose...

 Richard went for the jerk chicken with sides of beans and coleslaw.

 I went for the half slab of ribs with coleslaw and cornbread.

Best of all, you could rinse off outside!

 We figured we should work off some of our food with a hike in the Adirondacks. This spot was pretty close to the restaurant.

 There was a warning placed in the little sign in box...the trails were wet but passable.

 We came upon a rushing stream...so lovely.

Very pretty spot!

I just love hiking in the woods. One of my favourite things to do.

 Selfie time!

Last on our birthday list? Ice cream at this darling spot on Saranac Lake.

 We both had hot fudge sundaes with the perfect view.

 Adirondack chairs in the Adirondacks. What fun!

A lovely day and way to spend my birthday. BBQ, hike and ice cream. Perfect!
