We left Vermont around 9:00 this morning and headed to Mt. Washington. We made a pit stop
at the beautiful Mt. Washington Hotel. (A very glamerous old shining-esk resort) We stayed there in 2000 for Christmas and on Christmas Eve it caught on fire and we were evacuated in 17 degrees below zero. Ah fond memories of Mt. Washington. Anways we stopped by and then continued onto Mt. Washington. After much driving we reached the bottom. 8 miles of
twisting, winding, hairpinning fun later, we reached the top. After a little exploring and some souveniers we got ready to head back down. Thats when the fun began. As Forrest Gump would say "someone turned on the rain". It was rain at first however it soon turned to snow. June 20th and we
actually saw snow. A very exciting trip over all which we both agree was the highlight of our trip so far. If any of our fellow bloggers ever make the monumous pilgrimage to Mt. Washington, we highly recommend driving to the summit. After Mt. Washington we headed to my Aunt Kathryn's summer house in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. A wrong turn landed us in the Story Land parking lot. It took me several minutes to recognize the tourist trap but after
several minutes i was brought back to a vacation we once took at Moose Pond where my cousins and I visited the theme park. My dad, who has always hated forced fun, did not accompany us on this trip and has never quite experienced he magic of Story Land. His loss. No more wrong turns landed us saftley at my Aunt Kathryns where we had a lovely seafood dinner. HC seemed to have preformed up to par today which, although less entertaining, is a relaxing change. More news later! Love, Emily and Chris
