Ivy and I like to escape from our 'normal' or 'everyday' weekends to go on an adventure. This Saturday, after breakfast, Ivy and I headed to North Conway New Hampshire, which is in the White Mountains. We visited North Conway in September when we visited some friends up there vacationing and thought, we should come back up here sometime. North Conway has a nice downtown with many shops and cafes that are so welcoming and just relaxing. We stayed at a place called the Swiss Chalet Village Inn in Intervale, NH. It was okay but was better than driving home! We walked around, did a little shopping with lots of window shopping, and took in the fresh crisp air and beautiful scenery of the changing leaves and snowy-topped Mount Washington! Beautiful. I love seeing trees with yellow and red colors...it looks like they are on fire, exploding! We had a very nice dinner at the Wine Thyme. So good and yet not expensive...looks expensive but not. Good wine too - says Ivy. I had a cranberry walnut chicken-salad spinach wrap - SO GOOD!! And Ivy had a pumpkin soup that was really good too...even Jon liked it! We are relaxed and had a good weekend. We also went to Peaches for breakfast. Very good too. We had a very peaceful and relaxing weekend. It's nice to escape from our business to be together and be outside in pure beauty!
On our way home, we drove through a Nor'easter. North Conway
was cloudy but not raining or snowing, but the whole way home it was raining, sleeting, and, yes, snowing! It's October, it's not supposed to snow!! And right now it's snowing too. Craziness. Here's a photo from our window...it's dark out and hopefully you can see the snow.
