Live free or die!

That's what the license plates for New Hampshire say. Isn't that intense? A little research led me to this explanation. Brad and I always get a little chuckle out of it, nonetheless. 

So far, New Hampshire is my favorite thing about New England. It's so absolutely beautiful and quaint. The people are so friendly (New England-style...not exactly the same as Southern-style), and we've just had really fun experiences in NH. Last week, Brad scored a great Groupon deal for a little inn in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Um, yes, please!

We drove up on Thursday afternoon, spent the night, and mosey-ed our way home throughout the day on Friday. The views were beautiful, the people were so kind, the food was yummy, and the baby was so very good. We even used cloth diapers for the whole trip, which was a first for us. Also, on Friday, we visited Littleton, NH and saw the world's longest candy counter. It was 120 ft. long and is documented by Guiness' World Records. Of a little more interest to me, though, was the poopoopaper that they had. It's literally made from moose poo. Yuck. But intriguing...

We had a grand time and thoroughly enjoyed our adventure (which included a stop at some outlets on the way home!). Way to go, Brad!

Brad, Bearsy, and some pretty tulips we saw on our walk.

Maybe if you come visit, we'll drive you up for the day. If not the White Mountains, then perhaps Portsmouth. We love Portsmouth. Let's be real...we just love New Hampshire.

Just another friendly reminder that I'm still playing catch-up. Clearly, it is not currently July... We made another annual trip to Tops...
