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 got [...]

This summer, besides being wet and cold, has been really busy. Our oldest son decided to try out for the 9U All-Star baseball team and was accepted. At that point, we realized that our commitment to explore New Hampshire was going to be limited.
With our weekends being spent at baseball tournaments and practices, we did not travel far [...]

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 the [...]

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 [...]

You can explore the Rock Garden, a jumble of glacially deposited granite boulders and take [...]

Several years ago when Canobie Lake Park had their Mother’s Day promotion, we went and had a blast. I don’t believe they offer this promotion every year. Our favorite park of the park are the shows. Canobie Lake hosts top-notch entertainment.
