OT: VT,NH,ME Vacation

Calling all fellow OH brothers and sisters from New England!  We are vacationing in that area the end of April, first of May.  Any DON'T miss things we should see?  Any great places to eat?  Fresh seafood is on the agenda.  Would also like to see lighthouses.  We are staying in the Bartlett NH area for a week and then in Manchester for 4 days.  Any and all suggestions welcome! Lyn

There is a great place to eat in North Woodstock, NH (I pretty sure that is the name of the town).  The restaurant is called Common Man.  We stay in the White Mountains region alot when we go north and that is always one of the stops we make....there is another one that is in Meridith, NH too.  Enjoy....I love New England. Debbie

Thanks Debbie!   We've never been to New England and are really looking forward to the trip.  I'll add your suggestions to our list!

 

Hi from NH! I second the White Mountains region. A don't miss for me is hiking the flume gorge. It's beautiful. I'm not sure when it opens but would think that it would be open by late April. That whole area is beautiful. Enjoy!

Thanks Stephanie, We're getting really excited to see the sights.  Not many mountains here in Iowa.  Mostly gently rolling prairie. 

I lived in the foothills of the white mountains in until I was almost 30.......may I suggest heading up toward the Tamworth/Conway area, seeing the Kancamagus Hiway ( not just a Hiway) http://www.byways.org/explore/byways/2458/ and maybe a tour through the "Castle in the Clouds" http://www.castleintheclouds.org/  if you like to Hike, but dont want to hike all day long, just a good 3 hour total hike, I would suggest Mt. Major ......http://www.localhikes.com/Hikes/MtMajor_0000.asp Let me know if I can help some more! Lighthouses I never saw  but in Maine. You need to drive a ways from Manchester to get into the mountains, but worth the trip.

We will be staying near North Conway.  I know there is an outlet mall there!  Yeah, shopping!  I'll be sure to check out the websites. Thanks for your help!
