Text of the page (random words):
etts just a 20 minute drive from our hotel in connecticut if you have a big basketball fan in your family it s a great place to spend a few hours sadly the center court was being replaced so grant wasn t able to experience that but the museum cost was reduced significantly and it was fun to watch him explore the museum we spent about an hour and a half there before heading to our next stop from the nba hall of fame we headed east to old sturbridge village about 40 minute drive it s new englands largest outdoor living history museum they have costumed historians throughout the village working on the farm and in the trade shops we absolutely loved it we got there around 12 30 and stayed until they closed at 4 00 we would ve stayed a bit longer if we d had more time it was so big we felt like we were wandering through an old village the leaves were beautiful crisp air delicious varieties of apples to sample knowledgable and friendly staff could not recommend it more we had dinner at sturbridge seafood and craved it the rest of the trip their chowda fries were amazing award winning clam chowder over hand cut french fries cheddar cheese and crispy bacon yes please sav got their fish chips which was the best i ve ever had grant got the lobster bisque and i wasn t super hungry so i just got a caesar side salad all very good i wish i would ve tried their lobster roll though because i m sure it was amazing great service great food the kids were up for more driving that night we knew we wanted to visit alyson s orchard the next morning we ended up deciding to stay in keene nh that evening i wish i would ve tracked the roads that we took because the drive was stunning meandering through the most darling little towns at the end of the trip savannah said that was her favorite drive it was about an hour and forty five minute drive i really wanted to explore mt monadnock but so far none of my children enjoy hiking i quickly got veto d but if you have a family of hikers you gotta go i read it s the second most frequently climbed mountain in the world i ve heard it s great sunday october 6th we loved alyson s orchard it was chosen as one of the 12 top orchards in the us it was stunning 450 acres of working orchard a beautiful pond surrounded by tall trees with colorful leaves pumpkins hot cider hot chocolate toasty hot apple cider donuts fresh baked apple pies etc there was an old car show also the day we were there they do offer lodging at the farm and i think it would ve been fun to stay there it was beautiful next we headed to check out the cornish windsor bridge it is the longest wooden bridge in the united states and the longest two span covered bridge in the world driving through the bridge and reading the plaques about it doesn t take long it was a fun stop then we headed over to killington vermont to drive the vermont scenic route 100 to waterbury on our way to killington we stumbled upon woodstock my jaw hit the floor we pulled the car over and explored it really was the cutest little town charming shops historic buildings surround the central square i wish we would ve stayed longer to explore the area i was a little unsure how long our drive would be the rest of that day so we headed out but near there is supposedly a cute functioning dairy farm the billings farm museum if you have been or go let me know how it is middle bridge is cute the shops are darling spend some time there and if you want to move there and be my neighbor let me know ha we certainly enjoyed driving route 100 it s dotted with small towns some with little shops and restaurants we stopped and explored one of them got lunch and did a little bit of shopping i just can t remember which town we stopped in we also stopped at moss glen falls in granville to check that out cute little waterfall on the side of the highway we did stop at the original ben and jerry s factory in waterbury but it felt a bit like the lines at disneyland on a packed day we took a few pictures and left the kids were like let s get out of here we can get ben and jerry s at the grocery store ha ha so true we were there on a sunday so maybe it wouldn t be as busy on a weekday not totally sure stowe is just north of there originally i wanted to stay at the trapp family lodge like the von trapp sound of music family hotel but the hotel rates were three times their normal average that s what you get with the leaves at their peak i guess but i hear stowe is amazing next we headed to montpelier to check it out we stopped at morse farm maple sugarworks explored their property watched a video on how they harvest and make maple syrup sampled the different grades of syrup got a maple creemie and picked up a few maple treats to take home i d recommend it we spent a little time exploring montpelier stopped by the vermont state house and walked around downtown all of the shops were closed seems like they all close around 4 pm had dinner at the positive pie and really liked it we stayed in montpelier that night grant was ready to watch some sunday night football monday october 7th what a rainy day stopped by the rock of ages granite quarry originally had planned on touring the quarry at nearly 600 feet deep it is the largest operating deep hole granite quarry in the world but instead we opted to just visit the visitors center and learn about it the pictures of it look really cool though hopped in the car and headed to peacham ah peacham we thought it was so cute savannah particularly loved it they have the most beautiful white church there surrounded with green grass and amazing leaves it was raining pretty hard so i didn t take pictures of it but found one on the internet wow your cell phone won t work once you get there absolutely no cell phone service but we found a nice lady to give us directions we told her we were headed back to new hampshire to drive the kanc she recommended we stop in her hometown bath nh to explore for a bit she said we wouldn t regret it she was right you have to stop at the brick store and get fudge the brick store is america s oldest general store i don t care if you get anything else there get the fudge honestly hands down best fudge on the planet we got the apple pie fudge and maple fudge oh my goodness you can also sample their smoked meats and cheeses which are also delicious there are also 3 covered bridges in town and they are charming then we headed east to lincoln where you start driving the kancamagus highway you do have to purchase a 5 day pass to be able to stop and park along the way but you can just purchase it at the first place you stop you do need cash just fill out the little envelope and you re good to go some awesome stops along the way are lincoln woods suspension bridge pemigewasset overlook falls pond russell colbath historic site sabbaday falls rocky gorge lower falls albany covered bridge something on our list that we didn t get the time to do is to ride the cog up mt washington it s the second steepest rack railway in the world after one in switzerland at this point we also decided to cross bar harbor maine off our list and just head to portland maine instead as beautiful as everything was we were starting to get a bit tired of all of the driving crossing bar harbor off our list saved us about 6 7 hours of driving if we would ve gone to bar harbor we would ve had these things on our list to do watch the sunrise from the top of cadillac mountain stroll along the ocean trail drive the acadia national park loop road thunder hole hike around jordan pond and get blueberry pancakes at jordan s on cottage street instead we drove to portland stayed two nights here so nice to keep our stuff put for two nights it was still raining pretty hard we tried to explore a bit of downtown got some nice warm ramen for dinner and headed back to the hotel we were hoping for some sunshine the next day we got lucky tuesday october 8 we woke up and headed a bit north to boothbay harbor holy stinkin cute little harbor town in maine we hopped in some shops downtown like sherman s maine coast book shop maine s oldest bookstore more like a big gift shop on the main floor with books upstairs and orne s candy store try a needum it s a maine tradition i m not sure why but they put mashed potatoes in a lot of unsuspecting things ha ha it s an ingredient in the needum which is a chocolate and coconut treat we strolled the footbridge it s a 1000 foot wooden pedestrian bridge that connects one side of the harbor to the other it s so beautiful out there we stopped by shannon s unshelled for lunch it was okay grant got a red snapper hot dog shockingly bright red but actually pretty good and i got a lobster roll i wasn t expecting it to be cold but i guess that is how they are typically served i only got lobster rolls after that if i could get them warm so much better next we went down to bath maine we were going to go to the maine maritime museum i was wanting to do their autumn lights cruise a cruise along the water to see a bunch of different lighthouses but the kids wanted to explore bath instead and go find a lighthouse to walk around bath was meh but we found doubling point lighthouse and had fun checking that out next stop was freeport we stopped to see the big f indian i guess the f can either stand for freeport or friendly anyhow it was big ha he s 40 feet tall finished up our day doing some shopping in freeport home of ll bean their ll bean stores are open 24 hours a day 365 days a year they haven t had locks on their doors since 1951 holy smokes oh yah caught an epic sunset that night on our way back to our hotel wednesday october 9 woke up and headed to visit fort williams and the portland headlight so so beautiful stopped to grab some donuts at the holy donut they have three locations in portland and we stopped at the one in downtown we were lucky enough to get there with no line but by the time we left the line was out the door the secret ingredient in their donuts maine mashed potatoes i don t get it but man oh man yum we got maple pomegranate fresh lemon dark chocolate sea salt maine apple and i can t remember the 6th one shoot we checked out a few shops ate donuts on the pier and then hopped on the 11 30 trolley tour of the city fun to learn all about portland we only had a small amount of time for lunch so we just hopped in to a little pizza place for lunch across the street not recommended and then went to check in for our lobster cruise we went with lucky catch cruise and loved loved loved it they were awesome so good to the kids making sure they got to experience everything the captain kept saying hey arizona come hold this lobster come put the trap back in the ocean it was awesome after the lobster tour you have the option to buy the lobster straight from the boat ours cost 7 you carry the live lobster up the ramp down the pier to the restaurant next door for an additional 12 they will cook your lobster and give you corn on the cob fries or baked potato coleslaw and dipping sauces we also got some calamari and blueberry pie it was a great experience next we headed over to visit kennebunkport maine another to die for cute as a button little harbor town in maine we walked along downtown checked out some shops admired the sailboats and grabbed some ice cream at rococo s they have so many delicious artisan flavors i don t remember what grant got but savannah got the molasses gingersnap and it was divine we drove along the coast to check out the bush family compound on walker s point so so pretty we drove a bit further south that evening and stayed near portsmouth if we would ve had more time we would ve done the walk along the ogunquit coast marginal way thursday october 10 took our time heading down to salem this morning looked around a bit in portsmouth and nothing really peaked our interest to be honest i d skip salem altogether we were just overall disappointed with it we did stop at the house of 7 gables which we ended up deciding not to tour we stopped in ye olde pepper companie which is america s oldest candy company cute little shop but nothing special then we headed over to the salem witch museum if you do go to salem please please please do not waste your time and money to go here i d read some mixed reviews before putting it on our list and wish i would ve heeded other s pleas to avoid it we sat in a big stinky room with mannequins while some witch stories were broadcast from a recording over the speakers then we were herded into another room where there were a few more mannequins and a grumpy employee who shared a few more bits of information and that was it what a waste brett and the big boys were joining us in boston that evening we were excited to have them join us so off to boston we went we drove around a little bit before picking them up and called it a night friday october 11 boston and the freedom trail we started our morning at boston common as we were checking out the map an older man approached brett and asked if we had a tour guide brett told him we did not he offered to take us around boston for two hours showing us the sites brett agreed i was reluctant in some ways it was great we learned some things we wouldn t have on our own in some ways there was too much info ha his boston accent added to the experience along with the swirling winds and rain from the nor easter coming ashore the winds busted two of our four umbrellas bummer we visited all of the sites boston common massachusetts state house granary burying ground park street church kings chapel burying ground old south meeting house old corner bookstore boston massacre site old state house faneuil hall paul revere house and old north church we ended our time with bryan the tour guide and headed off to get lunch in the north end at regina pizzeria oh my best pizza ever i am pretty sure it was the 27 that was our favorite of the 3 pizzas we ordered it was out of this world they have a few locations but everyone says the original one in the north end is the best by far we stopped in a few bakeries for some treats and then went off to explore some more brett had to leave to go do a meeting outside boston with a new team that is growing there so the kids and i headed off to visit bunker hill the rain was getting worse and worse our umbrellas were breaking and the winds were getting stronger and stronger we decided to call it a day and headed back to the hotel for dry clothes and warm blankets saturday october 12 woke up to more wind and rain checked the weather down in plymouth and it said no rain so we headed down there we were excited to check out the mayflower ii plymouth rock and plimoth plantation as we drove up we thought maybe maps had sent us to the wrong spot because there was no boat in the harbor it was empty i never would ve guessed it wouldn t be there the mayflower was over in connecticut being refurbished and getting all gussied up to celebrate it s 400th anniversary next ...
