The Here


Jason and I took a road trip this weekend. Our first stop was Mt Washington in New Hampshire. Growing up on the west coast I climbed Mt Lassen at 10,462 feet so I didn't think driving up a 6,138 foot mountain would be so bad... This sign at the bottom of the road should of giving me a hint.

This photo is really how steep it is. This road really builds trust in a relationship. I was so scared of falling off the side of the road But Jason did an amazing job driving...
and
we made it all the way to the top.I really thought it was funny that this sign was at the top.


The fall colors are amazing . I love how great the weather was.

Then we headed down to Boston. When ever we go to a bigger city we try and take the trolley tours. Its a great way to see the city in a short amount of time and the freedom to get on and off when we want to see something.
Our tour guide was really fun. He taught me a few new things. Paul Revere never shouted , "The British are coming" because everybody was British. He said alot of really interesting stuff. He also brought a 10lb lobster of the trolley.




This is the State House. Really neat.




Other cool places in Boston




USS Constitution


It was a really fun weekend!

Woo-hoo!! You're amazing conquering your fear and making it to the top even w/o the guardrails--and kudos to Jason for helping you through it all!

The scenery is beautiful--I've yet to see anything like that out this way and have to admit I do miss NY during this time of year! Oh and Boston, such a fun place to visit...miss being that close to such a wonderful city!!

My favorite pic from this post though has got to be the one of you at the top--wow you look amazing. Why are you hiding your skinny-minny beautiful bod behind the sign?? : ) Keep up the good work girl!

I always see cars with bumper stickers that say they climbed Mt. Washington and wonder what the big deal is. Now I know. Yikes! I love those trolley tours in Boston. They help you get acquainted with the city and the drivers know all kinds of stuff.
BTW-I agree with the previous post. You look great in the picture.

How fun!! I want a vacation! I would not do well on the drive up the mountain...I would probably miss all the scenery with my eyes closed!

Oh,I love those colors. Boston is so fun, I enjoyed looking at your pictures and remembering. And I agree with Zippy, you look fabulous and should be proud of yourself! I would not have done well driving up that steep road, I would have closed my eyes!
