Cathedral Ledge

Cathedral Ledge overlooks Echo Lake in Bartlett, New Hampshire. It is a popular destination for rock climbers, but we were just there for the view. It’s easy to get to and if you are in the area, definitely stop by to experience it yourself.

Bear Notch is a seasonal road that cuts through the white Mountains. We took it one day to get back and there was a gorgeous overlook that we stopped at.

We stopped off here to try our hand at catching a few fish. All we caught were some nice views of the land however.

Story Land

Story Land happened to be extremely close to the Attitash Mountain Resort we were staying out so we had pre planned to go there during the first week. Luckily we found out on that Saturday night that Story Land was going to start closing on weekdays so we were able to go there on Sunday late afternoon and Monday. They allow you to go at night, from 3 O’clock until closing and then the entire next day for the same price. We figured that would be good as we weren’t sure if our 2 year old daughter could last an entire day at the theme park.

The place was great. It is perfect for really young children. There are so many things for the kids to do there. It is like going to a playground and then you add in all of the shows, the circus, and the rides and you have at least 2 days worth of things to do. We were totally knackered by the end of the second day.

Carroll County Kennel Club Dog Show and Obedience Trials 2009

We were looking for some fun the day after we arrived in Attitash. We were looking for a place to go fishing, and ended up spending about an hour at the annual Carroll County Kennel Club Dog Show and Obedience Trials at Hussey Field. We too some time to check out the amazing dogs that were there strutting their stuff.

Anheuser Busch Brewery Tour

When you get to New Hampshire, anywhere that you might go as a tourist has a kiosk filled with brochures for all of the places you might wish to go. We originally had no idea there was an Anheuser-Busch brewery near Manchester, so we decided to visit.

We got a free guided tour of the plant as well as a few beers and a poster. The Merrimack brewery is Anheuser Busch’s smallest brewery in America and it is enormous. During the tour they explain about the brewing process as you walk though the enormous vats that hold the beer in it’s different stages of development.

At the end of the tour, we had our choice of some beers so we got a Budweiser and a Stella Artois. We thought there might be something special about having a fresh beer, but ultimately it was exactly the same as what comes out of the bottle from your local supermarket.

We got a bonus after the tour as they took one of the Clydesdale horses that was staying there out for pictures. They are indeed huge beasts.

Stony Field Yogurt Tour

While driving to the Best Western in Manchester, New Hampshire, we noticed a sign for Stony Field Yogurt. Having been a fan of their yogurt we decided to take the detour to their tour and see what their factory was all about.

The had a tasting area and short video about the history of Stony Field Organic Yogurt. We only stayed for a little while as it wasn’t very exciting. How much can one family absorb about yogurt anyway? The company does a good job at playing the “Green” card.
