Exploring New Hampshire

One of our hopes for this summer was that we'd be able to explore New England. We started off with an urban weekend two weeks ago. We had a wonderful trip to Boston. We walked, we explored, we shopped, we visited the incredible Institute for Contemporary Art and we saw the True Colors Tour. (You can read my review of True Colors at Mel on Media.) It was an amazing weekend.



This weekend, we explore the natural side of New England. On Saturday we're going to the Alpine Canopy Tour in Lincoln. Canopy tours started in the rain forests, where researchers didn't want to touch the land. They developed a system of cables and pullies that allowed them to move about in the tree canopies. The one in Lincoln goes down the mountain. Check out the site, especially the videos. After that, we'll be exploring Franconia Notch and parts of the White Mountains.

A full report after the weekend. In the meantime, happy 4th, everyone.
