Cathedral Ledge – North Conway, NH

I recently attended a quarterly meeting for the New Hampshire Land Surveyors Association, which was held at the Attitash Grand Summit Hotel. I was not looking forward to the long ride from the Seacoast to Attitash along Route 16.  Luckily the meeting was short and I was able to start the drive home before it [...]

Take a trip to Apple Annie’s for apple picking and fall fun!

(This post is the first in a series from a new guest blogger, Adrienne, who also resides in New Hampshire with her family.) Fall in New Hampshire is delightful, and there’s nothing better than spending a beautiful, crisp, sunny day picking apples as a family.  I recently took my two young daughters to Apple Annie’s in [...]

Visit the NH state fairs this fall

When my family moved from Connecticut to New Hampshire in 1980, I was 10 years old. We tried to become active in the community and meet new people. One group I joined was 4-H. I was in 4-H until I graduated from high school, but that’s a story for another day. While in 4-H, we used to travel to the State fairs [...]

Wagon Hill Farm, Durham, NH

If you drive along Route 4 between Durham and Dover Point, you will see a picturesque old wagon sitting on top of a hill at an old farm. If you drive this route in the winter, you can see hundreds of people sliding down the hill. Wagon Hill Farm is a 140 acre farm, which was purchased by [...]

Exploring the Gonic Trails along the Isinglass River in Rochester, NH

Recently, we learned about the Gonic Trails at Mount Isinglass Recreational Area in Rochester, NH. This facility is located a short distance from Route 125 in Gonic; a village of Rochester. The facility is part of the Waste Management Turnkey Recycling & Environmental Enterprises. On our first visit, we stopped at the nature trails. The trail [...]

South Mountain at Pawtuckaway State Park

We recently took a hike to South Mountain at Pawtuckaway State Park. We wanted to go on an easy first hike in the hopes that our four year old would enjoy hiking and we could do additional hikes this summer. We wanted to stay close to home, but do a walk that we have not already done. I found this hike [...]

Quality time spent at The Children’s Museum of NH

I recently enjoyed a morning visit to The Children’s Museum of New Hampshire in Dover with my youngest son. Mornings are the best time to go since they fill up quickly with school groups and young children with their moms. In 2008, the Museum relocated from Portsmouth to a larger facility in Dover. They have [...]

Help support the Barrington, NH recreation department

Barrington, New Hampshire is a small, bedroom community nestled between the seacoast and capitol city. There are no shopping malls. There are rolling green hills (white this time of year), friendly neighbors and fresh air. These are the things that attracted us to this town. Barrington is perhaps famous for Calef’s, an old fashioned country store [...]

Dreaming about boating…

Today while I was cleaning off the snow from our boat storage tent, I unsnapped the cover and checked the inside of the boat to make sure everything was okay. We do not want any unwanted guests taking advantage of the parked boat. While I was in the boat, I sat in the driver’s seat [...]
