So last week, I went to a trip in the White Mountains Region of New Hampshire. This trip was different from my previous trips, since most of my vacations took place touring cities in the states or Canada, Korea, etc. Therefore, this was completely new to me. I have never gone to a trip that involved nature. I was very excited, but at the same time, thought this would be very boring. Oh boy, was I wrong. =X

After a 5 hour drive from North New Jersey, we finally arrived, checked in at the hotel and stopped at "The Lost River"

Basically you go down a path of long set of stairs and you see stuff like...

Supposed to be a wolf head or something lol

You get the picture...it was pretty neat, and I liked it a lot. Next up was the Cannon Mountain where you ride a cable car to the peak, and across you can see Mt. Lafayette.

On the cable car, on the way to the top

Then we went down...and next to the Cannon Mountain place was a Ski Museum. It was free, so why not visit? :p

myself, sister, dad

This concludes Day 1. By the time we came back to the hotel, it was around 6 PM. We ate dinner which my mom prepared for us, and then went around the town near the hotel. WOW, I was so surprised, there is literally NOTHING to do. The difference between the suburbs and a place like this makes my town a city. However, there is a delicious Ice Cream place that gives huge cones. If you live in the White Mountains Area and know where the "Hobo Railroad" place is, that Ice Cream shop is near there.

For Day 2, we went to the Mt. Washington by car!

On the peak, you can see the train on the way to the top

The kind of trees that live here lol

After we came down there was some random waterfall place we stopped by:

Here is a picture of the Mt. Washington Hotel. It was made like 100 years ago or something.

Final stop: Flume Gorge. A pretty long walk, but nonetheless, BEAUTIFUL!

WOW...feels like I'm in a jungle. So cool!

I think this was The Flume

After this we stopped by the Loon or something.

Then we ate dinner, went for ice cream, and swam/exercised.

Last day, in front of the hotel, about to leave:

What the fuck is wrong with my face, I look so tired...

On the way home, we stopped by this awesome scenic view

and finally, "The Frost Place"

Great trip overall. On top of Mt. Washington, we sent a postcard back home with what we wanted to say. My dad wrote "When will we ever come back here as a family" in Korean and in a way, that makes me sad. Just like he said, when will we ever come back? I mean, I am 19 years old and my sister is 14. My parents are aging as the years go on. Furthermore, I will have a life of my own as well as my sister in the times to come. Even though next year or the one after we can still go on vacations and such, will we ever go back to New Hampshire? Possible, but not likely. I want to treasure these moments whenever I have vacation with my family because they mean a lot to me ^^. Sure my dad can be a dick (for the most part) but I guess he does show his affection for not only myself (well only to me he is annoying) but our family as well.

Nonetheless I had a great trip.

Nice pics! Now if you could rotate juuuuuuuust a few of them...

On a side note, been a nature guy, love going to parks, walking trails, etc., and that is some beautiful stuff there. Friend of mine went to UNH, was always trying to get us to go up.

clazzi you and your sister share the same facial features. I see a bit of your dad in you. So kawaii~~ albeit you look a little bit like waldo with your stylish hair if you were to put a redcap on.

lol no offense but your dad looks exactly how I imagined he would and seems to fit the exact stereotype of strict/pain in the ass father. I know too many asians
