Today we ventured out through the Frankonian Notch and onto Mt. Washington and the Mt. Washington Hotel. Funny, we don't have notch's out west. It was a first for me today! For those of you that have been to the Stanley Hotel (impressive as it is) this hotel is the Stanley on steroids . It is absolutely beautiful and very historic. For a brief history lesson on the hotel, click here ! A lovely drink and laugh on the deck! Bliss! Stella ran around and explored for a little but then, of course, she had to pose for a photo opp!Love this kid, love my husband and love this life. The grounds are beautifully manicured. There are two golf courses and Brentton Woods ski area across the street. We'll definitely be making some overnight trips here in the near future. Much Love!

Summer is slowly slipping away, but luckily we've had the opportunity to get some HUGE doses of vitamin D. I can't tell you how much sunshine fuels my soul! Meet Trent, he's my new buddy and the son of my childhood friend Taryn! We had hours of fun swimming in the river. I've never seen clearer water in a river. Nice cold water on a hot sunny day! Love it! Last stop of the day, another dip in the pond before we got home. Did you know , New Hampshire is know as the land granite?!?....for those of you that know my love for rocks, I'm diggin this polace.  Oh and it's also known as the "live free or die" state, I love that slogan! Ha! Sending much love...

I have yet to experience the turning of leaves in the fall in New England, but I hear from people that it is absolutely amazing. I was driving with Stella down the valley yesterday and even though everything is still VERY green we ran into a little red. Out of miles and miles of green trees there was this little splash. What made this little leaf turn early? Fall is upon us, it's getting a bit chilly in the evening and in the mornings . So ready for it! :) Sending out much Wednesday love...

Yup, trying to get back in the game, that of course being the "game" of getting my booty back into kick ass shape again. We have a great little gym "club" that we belong to with everything (well almost everything) you could ever want to use for working out. Stella is hell bent on working out everyday so she can be ready for ski season. She's a strong, lean very fit little girl and soon I will be too (minus the little girl part) :). Lots-o-core work! Stella stretching! It's not easy, but feels sooooo good! An update on the home front....found a G R E A T condo, 3 bedroom, plus a loft, 2 1/2 bathrooms, and A M A Z I N G huge windows looking out onto Waterville ski area! Woo!!! We move in October 1st. Oh, and another really great thing, mom and dad are coming to hang with us next week. Ahhhh , life is good! Much love...
