Margarita Grill ~ Mt. Washington Region, NH
The meal was surely worthy of praise. After all what’s an adventure without some high quality creative food to fill our bellies and souls afterwards. We chose our drinks from their slate drink menu and ordered a couple of soups to share while we took everything in. The menu was big and delicious, making it a challenge to chose. But at last we did. Local bacon wrapped around stuffed Jalapeños shared the next course with mouth watering crab cakes. Local treasures of Mushrooms, Onions, Herbs, Tomatoes and Peppers graced our entrees. After all this we couldn’t help but to try their desserts, the chocolate cake they had that evening is something we still talk about.
Mt. Washington Region, New Hampshire
After five amazing days in the Great North Woods we were happy to reach cell service and warmer weather upon arriving at the Mt. Washington Auto Road. The warm weather was stuck with us until we reached the peak at 6,288 feet, where it was barely 32 degrees! The drastic change in temperature is a trademark of Mt. Washington. The Auto Road is the perfect way to learn the rich history of this area.
Less than 20 minutes away was our home away from home for a couple of days. The accommodations at Attitash Mountain Village were amazing. The location was perfect for us, and it had every comfort of home perfect after our time in the woods. The room would be wonderful in the winter too, complete with fireplaces and in-room hot tubs. We appreciated having a little time to relax before our 8 o’clock dinner at Margarita Grill. Margarita Grill is not your run of the mill mountain town restaurant. They specialize in local and organic food with a Southwest flare.

Climbing Square Ledge with Northeast Mountaineering
We have tried our hand at a number of different climbing adventures this season: Giant jungle gyms to indoor bouldering rooms. It was time to put our developing skills to the test. We called our friends at Northeast Mountaineering (NEM) and asked if they knew of a good place for our first climb. Not only did they know of a place, but they graciously outfitted us with all the necessary gear and a top notch guide named Noah. Noah was not only a great instructor, but he has a ton of world class experience, including a climb in Patagonia that entailed getting dropped off by a plane, then hiking 20 hours a day for a week straight just get to the climbing spot! Talk about determined.

Indoor Ascent (rock climbing intro)
Our introduction to rock climbing couldn’t have come from a better place than Indoor Ascent. Indoor Ascent is a 9000 square foot indoor climbing gym located at 47 Broadway in Dover, New Hampshire about 20 minutes from Portsmouth. Indoor climbing is a great way to stay active in the winter. It’s a fun and exhilarating way to stay in shape by getting an extreme core body workout. Oh to have a good climbing gym near us! Not only that but it’s a great place to bring the kids for a few hours.

Weir’s Beach (part 2)
Part 2 of our Summer Adventure Series covers a couple more awesome activities we found at Weirs Beach on Lake Winnipesaukee, NH. Both were extreme height adventures. One involved hanging from a parachute 400 feet in the air and the other one had us leaping off a 40′ platform onto a giant airbag!
