EXPLORING NEW ENGLAND || PORTSMOUTH

Tuesday, December 11, 2018

Over the summer, the kids + I tagged along on a work trip to New England. While the Hubs worked his hiney off, the kids + I pursued Downtown Portsmouth. We even took a little road trip down Hwy 1A to Wallis Sands State Park where the kids got their first experience swimming in the Atlantic Ocean. It was too cold for me to join in but the kids had a blast. Here are some of my favorite photos from our time spent in New Hampshire.
The steeple in the background of this photo belongs to North Congressional Church, organized in 1671. I thought it was pretty neat to learn that some of the people that once attended were General William Whipple, signer of the Declaration of Independence; John Langdon, signer of the U.S. Constitution; and President George Washington.





The Wentworth Coolidge Mansion. "An 18th-century house + farm... (that) is historically significant as the only original surviving residence of a Royal Governor in the United States." - source
  

I had my first ever lobster roll during our visit. Because #wheninnewengland you eat #allthelobster. It was divine + you should eat at Surf if you ever visit.
