Have you ever noticed how quickly time passes when you take a spur of the moment two-day vacation? The White Mountains is merely a hop, skip and a jump away from my home, but when surrounded with the absolute beauty of creation, in both the sights and sounds of the mountains, rivers and delightful places to visit - unique shops, restaurants,and attractions for the children, and having the pleasure of sharing all with a 5-year old grandson - words cannot express how satisfying it is to spend precious moments with loved ones.
