Our next destination was North Conway up in the White mountains. We had time and this trip is all about seeing what we can see, not arriving early somewhere. So we decided to make a stop along Lake Winnepesaukee, otherwise known as Lake Winni.
As we were driving the country roads – as little major highways as possible. We drove through gorgeous country scenery. Not a lot of color changes yet.
I did not know this, apparently this is the oldest summer resort in America, established in 1770, even back then, people needed to get away.
Just some old pier supports out in the lake. I love the old decay, I got a lot of pictures of decay. Although I wish our society were being forced into decay in the name of ‘health. Thats a different subject.
Look what we found in town, they had all kinds of ginger bread cookies. Would you believe that we didn’t buy anything there! What self control.
Took pictures instead.
The selfie worked. Across the street was one of those tourist traps full of souvenirs. Upstairs was the best yarn store I saw on the whole trip. What an incredible selection! I wasn’t in the mood, so my yarn shopping happened later, but it was like 3 LA yarn stores in one.
Look at the weather vane atop the Yum Yum shop! That made me look at other weather vanes as well.
This wonderful arrow on the Church across the street.
This was on some church in VT, you can clearly see the cross on the weather vane.
On top of the massive barn at Shelburne Farms. Barn is a misnomer, but we’ll let them call it that.
Even in North Conway were weren’t seeing a lot of color. Then we looked out our hotel window and these bushes by the pool are just gorgeous! Our first real splash of red! Lucky for us, the day got better as we went along.
