This is one of my life's goal to visit all of the highest peaks in each of the fifty states in the USA and it's territories. I am lucky enough to have April, Paisley and now Scout as well as a cast of great friends and family that tag along and share in this journey with me.

mt washington nh 6288ft me, April, Paisley, and Scout

 We had a great day!  Mt Washington was awesome.  April, Paisley, Scout (his first high peak), and myself drove up the 8 mile road and boy it was steep.
 They aren't playing, there were drop offs and tight turns and no barriers, it was exciting. 

 here we go.












 as we got to the top we were neck in neck with the cog trail and as we parked it stopped in the "station". 



 we can barely stand it.  we were jumping and laughing in the parking lot.  we must of looked crazy.




 made it!  April was worried the kids were going to blow off the mt. but it couldn't have been better weather.  sunny cool 47 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.





 who knew there was a post office up there?
 what do you think this lady is thinking?
 paze was a big girl and took it onto herself to ask what these tracks were and who made them.  They told her they were from a bear. she was speechless.
 we have started a new tradition of make a picnic lunch and having it at a cool spot.  this is the coolest spot we found. Plus Scout tried out jelly bread, he loved it.  From our lunch spot we could see into Canada and almost to the Atlantic ocean, wild!


 um. I barely used the brakes. Aprils car in low gear kept us at a perfect speed.


 as we turned onto the road back home.....the kids were out.  We had a really great day.
