30 September 2010

The next day we headed to Dartmouth in NH to meet up with some friends who were dropping off their daughter at school. What a neat campus, I love the old buildings. But it was and will be VERY cold! Not my kind of school! We left them and went on to more important things... Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream factory in VT! So delicious! We had more than our share of fresh ice cream.
We stopped by these covered bridges on our way back to NH where we would be staying the night. We stayed at this cool old resort at the base of Mt Washington (the tallest mountain in NH).
We got up early to go to the Franconia NP and hike through the gorge. So cool!! It is these 90ft granite cliffs with about 3-5 feet between them.

Then we headed over to Portland, Maine to get a lobster. Yummy!!

We missed the peak fall foliage in NE by about 2 weeks. It was a bit of a bummer, I would have loved to see that. But some of the trees had been nice enough to give us a preview of what the main attraction is. I can see what everyone was talking about.










5 states in 2.5 days..... busy busy. It was a great trip though, Thanks dad!

Yay, what a great trip (even though you didn't come see me)! Isn't it awesome how you can see so much in so little time in the NE!?!? I loved the Mt Washington area, but we've never done that gorge hike - that looks super cool. Bring Justin out next year for the peak foliage and we'll rent a van and cruise around together!
