I was so excited to go to New Hampshire today because I was born and raised here. I sat next to SandraLynn   and directing her along the local roads like I was still a native! I still am in my heart and when I retire, we’ll be moving back to New Hampshire. I asked SandraLynn to stop my Londonderry and we picked up my sister, Christine for the day. We took the 16 north through Ossipee, Conway and on the way to Mt. Washington. Mt. Washington is the tallest mountain in New Hampshire and holds the record for wind speed. The best way to get up to the top is the Cog Railway. Mind you, I’ve never ridden it, but it’s on the list for the fam to do when we go back. The Cog is a steep railroad and the engine pushes the train because it’s easy. Right now in summer, the trees are deep green and the air is so crisp! Princess Megan Rose  Lyn's a Witchy Woman  enjoy the summit up. SandraLynn and Jellyfish  keeps their eyes closed as the train chugs up the mountain. On the way down, Sung'manitu  and WakeUpAndLive  say it’s like riding down a roller coaster. After our Mt. Washington adventure, I tell SandraLynn to take the Kanc. The Kanc is short for The Kancamagus Highway, the highway that connects Conway to Lincoln. It takes you through the White Mountains with great views. AmyJo-Moving day's soon here  and Krista oh and ah at the forests and mountains. Princess Megan Rose spots a moose or two. WakeUpAndLive spies a few bald eagles. We take a detour and stop by Bretton Woods. It’s a very famous hotel that was constructed in the early 1900’s and many important meetings have been held there. We all ride the gondolas over the area and get another perspective of the White Mountains and the woods that surround the area. Krista took lots of pictures for her Instagram. This is a great area for skiing in the winter time. It’s great having some time with my sis. We eat lunch at Bretton Woods and then head over to Franconia Notch. The “Old Man of the Mountain” was there before it fell in 2003. The profile was that of an Old Man and it truly was representative of us New Hampshirites. While at the Notch we went kayaking down the Pemigewasset river. We took our time, laughing and giggling. Sung'manitu splashed water onto Lyn's a Witchy Woman who spied several fresh water fishes in the clear water. We ended the day Glamping next to the river. WakeUpAndLive shared her coffee and Krista and AmyJo-Moving day's soon here made smores for everyone. Being home, even just for the day, and seeing new places has invigorated my soul. |
