Weekend in New England

We're back from a quick trip to New Hampshire -- no point in being anywhere near the beach over the Fouth of July weekend.

We've now seen organic yogurt being made at the Stonyfield Farms Dairy, non-organic beer being made at the Anheuser-Busch brewery, and The Flume in Franconia Notch State Park, all in New Hampshire, spent two nights in Hartford, Conn., (coming and going), and drove through Manhattan on our way back.

Here we are at the top of The Flume. On the way up, there were tons of historical photos showing tourists visiting The Flume back in the 1920s and 1930s. Needless to say, we were quite underdressed compared to the tourists of old.

On the mile-long hike back to the visitor's center, I spied George Washington lying in state in the distance. It's up to you whether you agree or not, but signs posted along the trail indicated that I'm not the only one who can see his profile here!

And finally, here's our standard shot of Shelly dipping her toes in a stream. With less shreiking on her part than when she dipped her toes in Colorado, I have concluded that the water was much less cold than in Frisco.
