Day 109 (Sep 2) – New Hampshire

Driving across NY (the northern border) took us three days and then today, we drove across Vermont and into New Hampshire.  This is beautiful country.  We have gone the scenic route – not interstate – so we keep driving though these small towns (“villages.”)  Some of the houses are so old and beautiful.  There are tons of small farms, with a few horses and cattle.  We have driven by several Amish farms and buggies.  I couldn’t really read on our 6-hour drive today because I just kept looking out the window at the scenery.  The rolling hills/mountains, lakes, cornfields, trees, houses and churches are all mesmerizing.  It is just like I thought it would be, except prettier.

The last town we passed (Lisbon, NH) before getting to our KOA today was established in 1763.  That is just amazing.  Brad and I both laughed as we saw the sign.  “Old” means something a little different out here than back in TN or CA.

The campground was offering Tie-Dye tonight at 5:00 and the girls wanted to do it.  Carmen paid for a bag and bandana, Audra paid for a bandana and I bought them each a shirt.  I have only done it once before, a long time ago.  I helped Carmen and Audra did her own.  We had fun and everything turned out really cute.  We may end up staying here another night.  We are tired of driving.

P.S.  The new Thomas Jefferson Hour is up.  Clay, David and special guest Brad Crisler!  Give it a listen!  :)
