Another early morning, but this time I had everyone up by 8AM. 

Breakfast was amazing.

We drove an hour north to Fort Ticonderoga.  This was a dream come true for me.

We left for lunch and grabbed some pizza.  The pizza was amazing; the service and cost was repulsive.

John dropped me and five of the kids off back at the fort, while he and Stewart went to the Star Trek museum.

We checked out  a few more things (canon firing) and then looked around the gardens.

We tried to do the corn maze, but it seemed to be closed.

We went back and joined a tour until John and Stewart met up with us again.

Our admission to the Fort also allowed us access to Mt. Defiance.

We went up the mountain as far as we could drive then hiked up the last little bit.  It was paved.  We then were able to look back down upon the Fort and see Lake Champlain for a good distance.

We saw an extremely large cricket by the bathroom.  I’m glad it wasn’t in the middle of the night.

Dinner and another nice campfire.
