The mountains

I have always been a down south vacationing kind of girl.  However, ever since we starting going up North with Greg when he is traveling for work I have to tell you it is really growing on me!  Now don't get me wrong I would still looove to travel down south but since it is quite expensive traveling with our clan I will take our Northern getaways! This trip we headed to the mountains in New Hampshire.  It was sooo pretty. 

Before heading to the hills we first made a stop in Maine so we could hit up Kids Night at Bob's Clam Hut.  Now I have to tell you Kids Night gets this momma sooo excited.  Not only are the kids entertained with face painting, prizes, etc. but they also get to eat for $1....AND get this...the drink is included!! Oh yeah! That's right four kids...four kids meals...$4!  I H-E-A-R-T Kids night! :)

We stayed at a hotel right by the aiport...the girls loved that! They would always run to the window when they heard a plane taking off...

We stopped the Lost River for some sight seeing but we were SOOO not prepared.  When we pulled in we saw people decked out in their big backpacks, sneakers, hiking boots...you get the picture...

we were decked out in Matilda Jane and sandals.  We did visit the gift shop where the girls got some binoculars...they were happy.

And then of course we wrapped up our little trip with the most amazing lobster rolls! Look at this thing...and this was just half...I had already ate the other half (yes I know one person should not eat that much and no that was not my mac and cheese on the side...that was Levi's!)
