A couple of weeks ago my husband and I enjoyed a brief vacation. That week we played the tourist, going places where we'd never been, even though we'd driven by many times.

First--although I'd taken several boat trips out of Portsmouth, New Hampshire to the Isles of Shoals, I had never taken the "Great Bay" tour that we took this time.  The ride and the crew were exceptional.  The tour guide really knows his New Hampshire history. The leaves on the trees were still mostly green.  Exactly 7 days after this trip the foliage peaked. 

Second--Although born and bred in New Hampshire, I'd been to the New Hampshire state house in Concord several times, but I'd never taken the "self guided tour" inside.
