Back To Boston Trip: Vermont and New Hampshire

We are home from our 17 day whirlwind trip to Boston and beyond. We have always planned to go back to Boston for our 5th anniversary. Scott and I met in Boston and lived there our first year after being married. We have missed it so much and could hardly wait to go back. We made it! We took our two little girls, who did quite well, but certainly made it different than our carefree days of living there. Some of our closest Boston friends, who have also moved away, joined us there for the fun. We saw all of Boston, went back to all of our favorite spots, went to Vermont, New Hampshire and Scott went to New York, spent 3 days on Cape Cod, visited all of our past co-workers/friends and our singles ward friends that are still there. It was absolutely wonderful to be back. We packed it all in and came home exhausted, but had an unforgettable good time!!

Vermont and New Hampshire -

We stayed right by Hanover, NH where Dartmouth College is. We walked around there and had dinner at a very popular college hang out.
Sunday we went to church at the chapel in Sharon, VT. It was so nice to be there. When we lived in Boston, a big group from the singles ward would go up to Sharon every October to camp and watch conference at this chapel. Lots of memories there. We went on a walk afterward around the Joseph Smith birth place memorial.We spent the afternoon in Woodstock, VT. This is the cutest little VT town. I've always loved it. It's a town with quaint shops and is just pure Vermont country. Lovely.We drove all through the Vermont countryside and even went to Sugarbush Farm. This place is also a favorite for their DELICIOUS cheese and syrup. Brielle on our walk through the sugar maple trees to see the tapping lines for the syrup.The Quechee gorge is a huge canyon that we went on a walk around and over on the bridge. It's gorgeous.
Ava was super sick our first few days. Can't you tell in her face? Ice cream after the hike. You will soon see that we ate ice cream every single day!These first few days were spent in Marriott hotels. We loved getting to stay in big comfortable beds and swim every morning and every evening. It was some pretty luxurious living for a 2 year old!We drove from Vermont to Lake Winnepasaukee in New Hampshire. Yes, THE Lake Winnepasaukee from the movie "What About Bob?". That's exactly why we love it. We swam and ate lunch and then headed back to Boston.
