On the 7th and final full day of our trip, the husband woke up and said no more hiking, climbing and jumping rocks.
Or rather his back did…
So we did what any (not so) able bodied tourists would do…
We had a long lazy breakfast…
And resort hopped the day away.
Our first stop was a brand new place perched at the bottom of Mount Washington.
While it didn’t look like much from the front, the views out back were wide open.
With a large deck…
Ample seating, and a fire pit to take it all in.
Inside there was a nice dining room..
Filled with old photos…
And history of the area.
But it was the lounge and bar that drew our attention.
(You’re shocked, I know.)
It had my kind of moose head mounted over the mantle…
And a wall of windows…
That made for a damn near perfect spot to drink.
So we drank.
(You’re surprised, I know.)
My Thyme In Mumbai please…
Yes, I believe that tasted like another one.
The bartender/waitress was a hoot and had us sample a new hard cider by North Country called Squashed. I’m not a fan of all that pumpkin spiced crap but this was heavenly. Light, crisp with delicate undertones… I was hooked. Until I researched it and realized you could only buy it by visiting their tasting room.

Thinking it might be a good idea to have some food to soak up the alcohol, I opted for a crab cake that was the size of a large saucer and pure crab. It was sublime.
Tomato bisque for the husband.
Which was small, but delightfully rich and creamy.
Bacon wrapped pan seared sea scallops for him…
Grilled chicken club wrap for me.
Good bye diet.
We soaked in the wall of windows a little longer…
Then headed out….
To resort #2.
(You’re welcome food people. Breakfast and lunch!)
