Do you remember, before you had children, going skiing for the day? Lift tickets were expensive at $40-$50+ each! But what a great time we had skiing with family and friends. Now, we have a 9 year-old and a 5 year-old and we want to share this activity with them. You could imagine our surprise when [...]

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 [...]

Barrington is perhaps famous for Calef’s, an old fashioned country store [...]

My family recently discovered snow shoeing as a great family fitness activity. I was not sure if my kids would enjoy or have the patience for it.
