WHAT A FABULOUS WEEK WE JUST HAD! We packed up the six of us and headed up to the White Mountains of New Hampshire...How very beauty(full) and wonder(full) it is in what we would call "God's country." There were many things for us to see and do and choosing which to partake of was a task in itself. Ahead of time, we knew for sure that one of the adventures would be Storyland in Glen, NH. Elyse and her mom (aka Nana) went there last year with the three kids and the one on the inside (Zachary was 6 and a half months in utero at the time) while Jonathan was off in NYC being trained for what was then his new job at Palladium Group Consulting. Elyse promised the boys that the whole family would return in 2008 so that daddy could ride the Polar Coaster (that Mommy was no way attempting at that late stage of pregnancy...it was bad enough that she went on the Bamboo Chute ride!) The scenery at every turn was spectacular, but especially on the Mount Washington Auto Road! Neither Elyse nor Jonathan had ever been up Mt. Washington, even though our both families vacationed often in the area. So, this was the first time for all six of us! Unfortunately, it was all foggy at the summit so we could not see the awe-inspiring view we were told about. As we understand it, it is that way more than it is clear. Ah, well... Maybe next time. Now we can boast about driving up it with our "This car climbed Mount Washington" bumper sticker, which so many others also can do! Samantha was totally taken by the mountains and in her very sweet voice, as we drove around the bend and through the notches in the mountains, we heard, "Where are you, Mountain?" which is indicative of her speech therapy progress. Anyhow, we could go on and on about the trip, but instead, we'll simply show you in photos. Thanks for visiting, and until next time, may you enjoy every moment of your life.
