These last couple of days have flown by and we are flying home tonight. The whole holiday has whizzed by, but we have some great memories.
Thursday was a mammoth shopping day as we headed north to North Conway and the outlet stores. There is no sales tax in New Hampshire, so goods are super cheap and the outlets are a great place to get bargains. On Thursday evening we ate at the Corner House Inn, Center Sandwich, D&R's 'local'.
On Friday we were up and out before breakfast to drive to Moulton Farm for lobsters. We would be having them for dinner on Friday evening. We stopped by the Village Kitchen, a favourite haunt of R&D, where we indulged in massive cooked breakfasts and steaming mugs of tea and coffee. It really set us up for the day. Then we were off again to Moulton Farm. Here they have a whole range of stuff - bakery, farm shop, garden centre and of course, lobsters! We had a good look round and drooled over delicious looking home baked goods as well as enjoying the plants on sale, now that summer is here in New Hampshire. At last it was time to choose the lobsters, which D did with her great experience - just three as R is allergic and he gets ribs instead. And Friday evening was lobster night, and we indulged ourselves in wonderful buttery lobster, corn on the cob and bread to mop up the juices.
Today has been a last farewell to our great hosts. But before we left we went down to the Center Sandwich to visit the tiny farmer's market. There is plenty of competition, apparently, so the stall holders are thinly spread around the various communities. We saw Bob's Baguettes and Mostly Posies (D&R's neighbours) amongst other stalls, and indulged ourselves with coffee at the local coffee shop, accompanied by a large bulldog, who 'owns' the place. And then it was time to leave and we packed the car, said our farewells and drove off to Boston Airport.
