Evan and I had a wonderful couple of days at the Mount Washington Resort in the White Mountains. This was our yearly foliage trip, and we were cautiously optimistic as we headed up 93 with a weather prediction of rain, rain and more rain. Luckily Saturday was a cloudy but there was not a raindrop in sight! The trees were warm with blazing colors of infinite shades of red, yellow,orange, purple and tan-all set against the glorious rich dark velvety greens of pointy pines. We drove around the golf course looking for the driving range (we finally found it!) exclaiming about the mountains, and mist and clouds nestled in the ravines- just magical.
We dined royally, swam and hot tubbed, read and watched political shows. Great fun, and a wonderful rest.
