Cooperstown, NY — Part 3 of 2 (I know) — the Campground
August 21, 2011
It turns out, our long weekend in and around Cooperstown, New York appears to warrant three posts rather than the initially planned two. Rather than staying in a hotel, Julie found Shadow Brook Campground, which had a good-sized camper already on-site that we could rent, a small pond that allowed fishing (no license required), and paddle boats available for a very nominal fee ($5/half hour). That seemed like it would make for more interesting downtime, and it did!

…and quickly decided that the fun thing to do would be to paddle through the fountain in the middle of the pond:
The Playground
Alana went swimming, but, before swimming, she tried out the playground:
