New Hampshire - we broke for moose!



I finally saw my moose!!!!! Everytime I have driven through New England, I kept seeing "Brake for Moose" signs or "Moose next 8 miles" signs. Each time, the signs taunted me, they had me looking through the woods excited that I could see a moose. It never happened. But not on this trip! This trip, I told myself on one particular drive back to the hotel that this was the night I would see my moose. Not only did I see one, but 3!






This trip was a sort of a spur of the moment trip. Leila had spring break off from work and we were supposed to go camping. I got swamped with work so our camping plans got put on hold. So last minute, I went to www.site59.com to see where the cheapest flight from Tallahassee would take us for the weekend. It happened to be Manchester New Hampshire. Anyone that ever wants to book a last minute trip - and not really care where you go - site59 is awesome!








We decided to go skiing in the White Mountains and it was gorgeous! I snowboarded and spent most of my trip on my butt. Leila on the other hand skied, but she's a natural and did great! We went to Loon Mountain ski resort. I think the best part was the restaurant down the road called the "Common Man." Needless to say, we found our favorite restaurant in New Hampshire!



We also went shopping in a town called Conway. It is right near the Maine border. We took the
Kancamagus Scenic Byway to get to Conway and that is when we saw our moose - on the trip back around 5pm.





It was a short weekend trip, so that is about it! I hope you enjoyed the photos!
