Maine

Today started with breakfast at Beach Bagels.

Then we went to Fort Williams Park to see

the Portland Headlight lighthouse.

The view from the cliff walk was amazing!

There was a playground at the park.

and a treehouse in the children’s garden.

Harper started a dance party with some friends she made.

We ate lunch at Becky’s Diner on the wharf, and

they made a Mickey Mouse fruit face pancake for Harper.

Harper wanted to swim at the indoor pool

then we played and relaxed on the beach.

Harper shoveled a lot of sand and said she was a “struction worker.”  She kept burying her “treasure” shells and

marking the spot with an X.

It was another perfect day at the beach!

We walked down to the pier for dinner.  Harper was so

happy when she saw Mac & Cheese with French fries and fruit snacks on the menu!

We loved staying in Old Orchard Beach!

Cranmore Mountain & Old Orchard Beach

This morning we had breakfast

then took a few more pictures at the Red Jacket Resort.

Harper is showing George how to pose.

Harper read a book on our balcony

and enjoyed this view!

Next, we went to Cranmore Mountain Adventure Park.

We rode the alpine coaster 6 times!

There was a huge inflatable obstacle course.

and a place to mine for gems.

We rode tubes down a giant slip-n-slide 

that sprayed us with water

and rode the zip line 3 times!

Next, we drove to Maine.  Harper was so sleepy!

Our hotel is on Old Orchard Beach.  

This is the view from our room.

We spent the afternoon relaxing on the beach.

Harper collected a lot of shells and 

then counted them over and over.

She played in the water for a little bit

but mostly we just talked and giggled and enjoyed the sun.

We walked down to the pier for dinner

and ice cream!

The beach is gorgeous at night too!

New Hampshire

We started off the day with a big breakfast

then drove to New Hampshire to hike the Flume Gorge.

The scenery was beautiful and 

there were so many waterfalls!








Next we headed to Clark’s Trading Post.

Our favorite part was watching the Bear Show!

The train ride was pretty cool

and so were the circus performers!

We drove down the scenic Kancamagus highway

through the White Mountain National Forest.
I enjoyed the scenery while Harper played

Subway Surfer on her iPad. 

 When I pointed out a gorgeous lake set in the trees 

Harper said, “I need to focus on my game!”

We arrived at the Red Jacket Mountain View Resort

which has an indoor water park!

Harper loved the wave pool

even when the waves were off.

We went down these slides hundreds of times!

I was surprised that Harper loved the yellow one

because it is pitch black inside it.

This girl loves the water!

We ate dinner at The Muddy Moose

and toasted marshmallows at the hotel campfire.

It was a great day in New Hampshire!
