We have just returned from our trip to Hampton, New Hampshire for a long weekend getaway. We traveled with Chris's Parents, Grandparents, sister and fiance. We rented a house that is on the ocean (though we found out it was without air conditioning). It was a relaxing get away.
We started out at lunch at the Blue Mermaid in Portsmouth. The Blue Mermaid was recommended by Rachel Ray from the Food Network! We then drove a short distance to the Coast Guard Station where the Portsmouth Lighthouse was located. Chris really likes lighthouses, so we had to make sure we saw this one!
On Thursday we picked up Michelle and her now fiance Kevin from the airport and hung out at the beach for awhile, just watching the surfers! We went to Little Jack's for dinner and had lobster! Never knew lobster could be so cheap $16.99!
Friday was the big day of the Seafood Festival, one of the main reasons we chose Hampton Beach, NH (besides Manchester, NH being a place that Southwest flies and we had free flights). The festival was packed and everything it was hyped up to be! We enjoyed the music and people watching and of course the food! Lobster Mac & Cheese, lobster roll (or lobster po-boy sandwich), lobster ravioli and more! Plus all the booths with free stuff!
Saturday it rained and rained and rained! Tropical Storm Hanna came our way and it just rained all day long. So that meant shopping for me and Michelle! I of course had already done research and found an outlet mall about 15 miles north of Hampton in Kittery, Maine. So we hopped in the car (a blue PT Cruiser I might add) and drove about 20 minutes over a big bridge and into another state! It was a success of course!
We finished off our last night at a local restaurant called The Old Salt! All in all a very relaxing trip! We walked on the beach, ate a lot and enjoyed the company!
