October 5, 2008: Too Noisy In Merrimack!

Highlights from today: (click here for the pictures)

• Breakfast at Thayers Inn and then climbing to the top of inn's cupola for a view of Littleton, NH-Anderson and Reagan enjoyed climbing up and down all 6 flights of steps!
• Reagan and Anderson picked out candy at Chutters before leaving Littleton. Chutters is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the longest candy counter in the world
• Riding up to the top of the White Mountains on the Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway and then walking along the rim trail (the long rim trail!)
• Turning the van around to go and see a train for Anderson-it was The Hobo Train on a fall foilage tour. This was Anderson's favorite part of the trip!
• Discovering the Common Man Inn in Plymouth, NH for a picnic stop
• A game a chase with Reagan and Anderson on the State Capitol lawn in Concord, NH
• Picking up a few Christmas gifts for Tara at the LL Bean Outlet store
• Dinner at Common Man Grill-the kids enjoyed the large cheese and cracker platter at the front of the restaurant and Mom ate most of her Mac and Cheese Pizza
• Checking into our hotel in Merrimack, NH-we are all in one room tonight but it is a two bedroom suite with a living area (but someone has already called about the noise we are making-and it was just 8:00!)
