New Hampshire
We are home from our week in New Hampshire and, unfortunately, back to everyday life. Gone are the days of leisurely hikes, lots of reading, and no responsibilities and we are back to work, work, and more work. However, our kids were surprisingly happy to see us so that was good.
We were in far northern New Hampshire, right on the Canadian border. It is such a pretty part of the country. There are lots of lakes, tons of trees, and not too many people. Plus, every food you can imagine is flavored with maple syrup which made my husband very happy. He ate maple ice cream, maple pie, a maple donut, maple mustard on a sandwich, the list goes on and on.
The first couple of days were a bit grey and gloomy but after that it is was beautiful weather. My uncle is originally from the area so he gave us a few tips about places to visit. One suggestion was Beaver Brook Falls. It was very pretty. It was bigger than it looks in the photos. There is a trail you can hike up the side of the falls but it is very steep and we were not in the mood for that much effort. We walked an easier path by the river instead.
I would be happy to go back. The week was a nice escape from everyday life and a very welcome break. Besides, it is so much more photogenic than my normal life.
We did go into Canada for one day but that is a post for another time.

We did. It was just too short but aren't all vacations?

Such beauty! That is such a beautiful part of the country.
I'm interested in hearing about your day in Canada (which would have been southern Quebec, I presume). I have always felt Quebec as more of a foreign country to the rest of Canada than pre-Trump USA was.

Yes, southern Quebec. I probably will write a post about that next week. It was so beautiful.

The photos look lovely – quite like parts of Scotland in fact! I'm glad you had a relaxing time together.

It was very nice. Relaxing, which we needed. I can't believe Celia and I head to Scotland in just a few weeks!
