New Hampshire and Updates!

We took a trip to see the Fall Foliage this past October but I hadn't really had much time to go through all the photos and organize everything. So these are a few months old but still very pretty, so I wanted to share!! Our first day, we took the Cog Railway up to the top of Mount Washington. We were hoping to get great views of the Fall foliage from there, however, it turned out to be a very cold and overcast day! It was about 25 at the top of the mountain (not including wind chill) and visibility was horrible! Apparently Mount Washington is known for having very unpredictable weather, so it can be very dangerous for hikers. On April 12, 1934 the observatory at the summit recorded a wind speed of 231 mph which was a world record until 1996.

The ride up the mountain was interesting since there is an average 25% incline and a maximum 37% incline on the 3 mile track!

Next we went to check out the famous Mount Washington Hotel which is a luxury tourist destination spot with views of Mount Washington.

Then we had to stop to get pictures of more fall colors and a couple waterfalls that we passed along the way!









Next up we explored covered bridges, Pumpkin People in Jackson Village, and Jackson Falls.

We did a short hike to Sabbaday Falls to stretch our legs more.

Lastly I will leave you with a video of Gavin crawling over me in the tunnel. I had to flatten myself as much as possible for him to fit through!
