As my family was making their way home from our weekend in New Hampshire yesterday, we saw this sign along Route 16 in Ossipee, NH:

My family and I spent this past weekend up in New Hampshire. It was my husband’s company outting, so we packed up the kids and headed up north. We stayed in the North Conway area, which is one of my favorite parts of the state.
On Saturday, we took a drive to Santa’s Village. It was about 45 minutes from the condo where we were staying and we got there right when the park opened. We spent the day there & had a blast. Since Santa’s Village is in the middle of nowhere is located deep in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the GPS was having a bit of an issue finding a satellite signal on our return trip. I was driving and Chris was in the passenger seat working on the GPS. We ended up driving past the turn that got us there that morning because honestly, I just couldn’t remember if it was the correct turn (and Chris isn’t much help when it comes to directions), so we ended up taking a different route home than the one that got us there that morning.

Last Friday, my family and I had a chance to spend A Day Out With Thomas at the Conway Scenic Railroad in North Conway, NH. My boys are big Thomas fans, so on our ride up, they were so excited that we were going to actually get to ride Thomas!
North Conway is about a three hour drive from my home on the South Shore of Massachusetts, and since our tickets were for an 11:30 train ride, we set out from home around 7 am. We wanted to make sure we had plenty of time to get up there, find parking and get to the railroad. We actually had a weekend in N. Conway booked prior to receiving the tickets to the Day Out With Thomas, so the timing of this was the perfect way to start our weekend.

I ended up doing something a little out of the ordinary this past weekend! For those of you who stop by here on a regular basis, you already know that my husband and his family own a quartershare of a condo up on Loon Mountain in Lincoln, NH…and for those of you who didn’t know, now you do. Basically it turns out that his family gets one week a month up there, so we’re pretty familar with the area and we all love it up there!
Anyways, myself, Chris (my husband) and our three boys went up for the weekend, but didn’t really have anything in particular that we wanted to do. We figured we’d just hang out by the pool or maybe even see a movie, but when Chris ran inside to check us in upon our arrival Friday night, he happened to find out about a really cool sounding event that was going on all weekend long.

Chris and his family own a quarter-share of a condo up at Loon Mountain in New Hampshire & that is where I spent this past weekend with him, the kids, my sister and her boyfriend. We got up there Friday afternoon and got home yesterday. With the kids being so little, Chris and I spent most of our time with them sledding, in the pool or over at the tot tubing hill, so there wasn’t much time for skiing or snowboarding, although my 13 year old went with my sister’s boyfriend (who brought along one of those head mounted cameras like they have on the Amazing Race and he recorded most of his run with my step-son).
