Question

Is it true that the term "vacation" originated in the Adirondacks?

Answer

Why yes, I'm glad you asked! The word "vacation" did originate in the Adirondacks. What do you do when it gets too hot in the city - potentially head to the lake or the ocean? Because that’s exactly what New Yorkers and Bostonians did more than a hundred years ago; they swapped the humid heat of the city for the fresh mountain air. They vacated or fled the city. And so the word, “vacation" came to be. We're so excited to vacate with you!
