Bright and early, we prepared to drive to Lake Placid. The plan had been to leave by 5:30 am to miss the rush hour traffic across the top of Toronto. Unfortunately, we had a later start than we'd liked. To add to things, Logan decided he'd like to make a run for it and took off up the street! After a short chase, I captured the little man and we headed out. 6:30 am. We were worried about traffic but hit a wonderful window and sped through to New York, stopping at a gas station to refuel (and for Logan to stretch again) as well as at the Ontario/New York border above Watertown, NY.
It may have been a sign, but as we drove thru Watertown, there was a deluge of rain. Mmmm ... The weather did clear as we drove to Placid, but during our stop in Tupper Lake, we had to abandon plans to eat lunch on a patio as a thunder storm rolled thru. Poor Logan tried to alternately climb into my lap and under my chair to be protected. We had to put him in the car, but he was stressed by the thunder and lightning. 
Overall, he was a dream to travel with! Just settled down to look out the window.
We arrived at the Golden Arrow - our room was fabulous with a balcony & wonderful panoramic view of Mirror Lake and the swim course.
The hotel had prepared gift bags for all the athletes! How cool. 
We settled our gear and took Logan for a tour of the downtown, swim and transition area.
