Block Island Bike Tour

We camped out at Burlingame the night before. 


In the morning, we ate breakfast at Two Gulls Cafe, and then took the high-speed ferry over to the island with our bikes.




 Our route:



 First an out and back from the dock to the Northern lighthouse,






 Then around the perimeter of the island (with stops for an Arnold Palmer from one of the many lemonade stands and checking out the Southeast lighthouse).



We then stopped for lunch near the dock and afterwards rode back up to Rodman's Hollow where we hiked to the beach for a swim and a short nap :-)


Once we were finished at the beach, we rode back down the hill via Old Town Rd and got ice cream while waiting to take the ferry back to the mainland!

Sandcastles and Lubritoriums



Oh man, dragon girl! I was pretty disappointed that they bring the sand in and spray Elmer's Glue to get it to stick together so well.




 If you had been there, you would have told me to look away....



Do you see something funny?












You must be super excited to meet this guy in a few weekends:

At Whale's Tale


Maybe next time you can come and hold my hand and give me kisses and show me some of your childhood memories.

These Legs Climbed Mt. Washington

After a late night arrival at Dolly Copp camground, and a short nights sleep, we were up early to hike Mt Washington via Lions Head trail, and hopefully beat the runners up the hill.  After a quick stop at DD in Gorham, we were fueled up and ready to go.  For the record, Chris got a turkey sausage breakfast sandy and a toasted almond iced coffee, Rachel got a blueberry muffin toasted with cream cheese, hash browns, a french vanilla iced coffee with sausage... haha what?
 On the way to Pinkham Notch, we saw a moose!


Goodmorning!!

 Using the camera buddy for the first time

 You must have learned this from Abby!  Sorry for the low quality pictures here...

Myself!

Huh? WTF!!  You didn't tell me we could have driven up here!!!

The runners taking their summit photo, woohoo!  Wonder what Casey is clutching in his pocket???
Wow, thats a really messed up joke... Wait, for real?!
You earned it!  And with a very impressive time ;-)
