Lake Trip

So we're leaning toward visiting Lake Winnipesaukee at some point over the 4th of July weekend. (Hockey fans will be interested in knowing that Google's spell check recommends replacing Winnipesaukee with Winnipeg. Just like the Atlanta Thrashers! Go Jets, eh!)

Now we just have to decide when to go, and where specifically to go when we get their. Personally, my first choice is to find a public beach somewhere and then take the proverbial "jump in a lake." There are public beaches on Winnipesaukee so we'd just have to pick one to head to in the hopes that it isn't an over crowded nightmare on the day we go.

I also would like to check out as many of the natural attractions in the White Mountains as possible. Turns out I am a sucker for waterfalls. Who knew? I'd like to see the flume at Franconia Notch again, but would probably prefer to go to someplace I've never seen. Everything sounds like it's worth a trip.

This particular trip is not about me though, it's about the kids! As it should be. So where around the lake do we take the kids? The Alpine Slide interests one of them, but not the other. Amusement parks are hit or miss for us, because one kid is a ride crazy daredevil and the other is definitely not. However, at most amusement parks there is something to keep all of us entertained.

While all of these are important questions, they still should not be the first questions we ask. We should be focusing on when are we going and should we stay overnight before we get to specific destinations.

I am seriously looking forward to this weekend. The four of us are going to have a blast!

  1. I really like the beach at the Weirs. And there is a great place called Funspot just up the hill from Weirs Beach. It's one of the few mini golf places where they still have obstacles. And there's always the Weirs Beach water slides too -- just ask Jennifer about them, she LIVED there when she was a kid!
