Vermont/ New Hampshire

A couple of weeks ago, we went to visit Joe's family in New England.  First stop was his sister's house in Vermont.  We got a great deal on plane tickets, but that meant we had 2 stops before we got to New Hampshire, and then a two hour drive to her house.  By the time we got there, it was 3 am.  Somehow, we survived that, (amazing the things you can do when you are young, but not as much when you are older), and the first day we were there, we went to Lake Sunapee, which is actually in New Hampshire.  It was a beautiful, picturesque, freezing cold lake.  The kids didn't mind, even though I did.

 Of course, Nate has to do what everyone else does.

 The next day, we went to a science museum.  The boys: Nate, Mike, Adam and Tyler

 We went on a hike that was supposed to be 0.3 miles.  The signs were a little confusing and misleading, so I think it ended up being about 1.5 miles.  This is a view of the river, I think it was the Grafton-Windsor river.
Uncle Ken had been out of town, but came back a little early, so we got to see him, too.   We really enjoyed our visit.
