Labor Day weekend and we wanted to enjoy time together in New Hampshire exploring an area on my mom's bucket list. The MT. Washington Cog train is scheduled and on our list. Here are the 2 pooches making themselves right at home in the VRBO that is pretty much downtown North Conway. We loved it! Rather old home that had been updated.
We had to leave Shane behind to look at dapper for Max and Alley Wires Bai' Mitzvahs. The Briggs took him in as family - dressed them up and got to hear all about the service and the after party that had bull riding, hypnotist, and an epic trampoline!
Meanwhile - a blue bird day at Hotel Mt. Washington (not where we stayed, only where we explored and golfed) The view is striking
Loved be able to explore and take in the beautiful scenery
A portion of it was clearly under construction
Loved this rooftop bar area complete with AstroTurf playground for the crew
NIce family shot right? missing Shane of course, but also missing Nick who was off exploring
Re-Take - With Nick!
The boys headed off golfing and we headed out hiking along the golf course and this beautiful stream. Streams are nature and dogs playground
Loved the beauty of these tall trees
We were back in time for the ice cream social - 2 helpings please!
Love the shops in downtown North Conway - this was a favorite!
Loved these metal prints too
The next day was the scheduled cog train - these guys opted to hike!
Stacie and I took these 2 for a nice morning jog
Photos from the hikers
They made it to the top in impressive time (and had to wait on us)
Loading up on the Cog rail.
headed up!
Also headed up!
At the top
Headed back down
The stream at the bottom is actually run off from the top and its quite chilly/refreshing
Jason went to college in this area and remembered mirror or echo lake as a beautiful lake with the mountain back drop. We googled it and started driving towards it. This was the first shot. Not as advertised.......
Next up - the GPS took us to the top looking DOWN on the lake - we saw some folks repelling and hiking, but no one swimming. Strike 2
FOUND IT! Right was they were closing - but swimming at our own risk was just fine.
Beautiful little spot!
Great capture!
Fun weekend all together in a great little house, game garage, hot tub and all. Happy to go back with this crew!
