After Bonnie returned from being in Virginia Beach, 8-11 July, we went by rental car to the Patterson Recognition Trip at the Sagamore Hotel at Lake George, New York. As one of the top sales persons for her company Bonnie has won this high award now for four years. We joined Fran and Newell Coble for the Thursday Evening Dinner Reception.
Friday we were treated to a parasail adventure on Lake George. As we prepare to become part of the sky the Sagamore is shown in the background.
Off we go into the sky.....
There we are, high above Lake George . . . what a view!!!!!
The evening was set aboard the vessel ADIRONDAC for a dinner cruise on Lake George. Newly certified CAPTAIN BONNIE, United States Coast Guard 50 Ton Master's License issued 6/21/07, was invited by the Captain of the Adirondac to take the helm. The evening ended with a spectular fireworks show on the lake for the Patterson group.
What more needs to be said.
Captain Bonnie Croom Burke, USCG 50 Ton Master's License!
Now our third trip in or along the Erie Canal, we return from Lake George to the Syracuse Airport to pick up Granddaughter Taylor and off to Niagara Falls.
Down to the Visitor's Center and tickets for the "Maid of the Mist". The boat departed and passed near the American Falls and continued on to the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side.
Bonnie, Taylor, and Charlie on the bridge to the Visitor's Center.
The American Falls from the Visitor's Center.
After the river view of the falls we were over at the "Cave of the Winds" and the girls went up on the Hurricaine Deck . . . the photographer stayed lower and in less water and wind to secure their picture. Even with hurricaine force winds, Bonnie's hair did not move!
Over to the Canadian side we went up the observation tower and included in the views was this one of the Horseshoe Falls with one of the Maid of the Mist vessels conducting a tour. The Canadian side of the Falls were very attractive and tourist inviting.
In the state park along the falls on the Canadian side you are right at the Horseshoe falls, you can just about reach over the edge and touch the falls. Spectacular!
A close up view of the 3 million gallons of water pouring over the falls from 6:00 am until 10:30 pm each day. During the night it is reported that the dams are raised to divert water to the electric generating stations on the US and Canadian sides of the Niagara River.
Back at Brewerton the girls enjoyed an afternoon in the Coleman-inflatables when we went out on Oneida Lake for an afternoon anchorage.
Taylor was our driver on the way back to Lake Oneida for the afternoon anchorage and became an expert helmsman.
