We're Getting Married!
Things To Do
Davidson Brothers Brewpub
Check out the brewpub that Tricia's dad and uncle opened back in 1996!
Lox of Bagels
Check out Tricia's FAVORITE bagel shop (ever). This hole-in-the-wall local spot is located in Glens Falls, right off highway exit 18. Her go-to is an everything bagel, toasted, with one half bacon horseradish cream cheese and the other half jalapeno cream cheese.
Downtown Saratoga Springs and Spa State Park
While it's most popular during the horse-racing season in July and August, Brandon's hometown is a great place to visit any time of year. Broadway and Caroline Street are full of shops, restaurants, and bars (be warned, bars are open until 4am!). Taste the water from the springs at your own risk (some are "mineral" water with a sulfur taste!). Explore the State Park, home of the SPAC concert venue and the trails that Brandon ran during his high school cross country days! Favorite spots include: Putnam Market for sandwiches and sweets, Max Londons (our second date spot!), Henry Street Taproom for drinks.
Putnam Market
Check out our favorite sandwich spot, located right in downtown Saratoga Springs. Whenever we're home, we ALWAYS make a point to stop in for our go-to order, "the Governor" on a baguette.
Hicks Orchard
What's better than picking apples fresh off the tree in autumn in Upstate New York? Easy, it's eating the piping hot cider donuts that are made right in front of you. (Or maybe it's sampling hard cider at Slyboro, Hick's on-premise cider house.)
Hike Buck Mountain (or one of the many other options in the area!)
Lake George is nestled in the the Adirondack Mountains with a variety of hikes offering picturesque view of the lake and surrounding mountains. Other suggestions include Prospect Mountain, Tongue Mountain, and Sleeping Beauty. Check out www.adirondack.net/hiking for other recommendations and details about hiking in the area.
Steamboat Ride on Lake George
See the lake by historic steamboat, with tours that provide a glimpse into the history, islands, and natural beauty of the surrounding Adirondack mountains. Dinner and cocktail cruises are available.
Food and Drinks at The Sagamore
If you aren't staying at the Sagamore Resort, it's a beautiful location ~15 minutes north of our wedding site in Bolton Landing. Located on an island accessible by car, its grounds are a great spot to visit and enjoy food or a cocktail while overlooking the lake. Kayaks are also available for rent at their boathouse, and the town of Bolton Landing is a nice location for a stroll.
Trip to Lake Placid Village / Keene Valley
Lake Placid Village is approximately 1.5 hours north of our wedding site, and was home to the 1980 Winter Olympics. Visit the iconic Adirondack Village that was home to the "Miracle on Ice" Olympic Hockey Game. On the way, there are countless hikes in the Keene Valley area (see more here: https://www.alltrails.com/us/new-york/keene-valley).
Golf at "Top of the World"
Certainly one of the most picturesque golf courses in the area. The course sits on top of a mountain overlooking the lake, islands, and surrounding mountains. A great location for a round of golf or just walk and take in the views!
Adirondack Extreme Adventure Course
If you're staying for the weekend and are looking for a fun activity, check out the tree-top obstacles at Adirondack Extreme, where Brandon overcame his fear of heights to conquer the most difficult course. You'll find courses equipped with zip lines, rope swings, nets & more!
The Great Escape
If you're looking for thrills, check out John Davidson's favorite roller coaster, The Comet. It's the same roller coaster that made Tricia afraid of roller coasters for at least 10 years.
Get your History on at Fort Ticonderoga
Visit the 18th century French fort at the base of Lake Champlain rich with Revolutionary War history.
