Lake Winnipesaukee
Alton Bay

Lake Winnipesaukee is the largest lake in New Hampshire and an amazing spot to visit. Located in central New Hampshire's Lakes Region along with Lake Winnisquam, Lake Wentworth, Squam Lake, and Newfound Lake; Lake Winipesaukee offers many local attractions for tourists year round.

The Mount Washington is steamship that tours the lake twice daily and a great way to enjoy viewing the lake and the surrounding White Mountains.

Another great way to enjoy the area is by railroad. The Hobo and Winnipesaukee Railroads allow tourists the opportunity to take in the local sights.

Charles Bulfinch
Bulfinch (1763-1844) was the first native-born professional architect in America. A Harvard graduate, he helped pave the way for Boston from town to city. Many of his federalist style buildings still stand today, most notably, the State House in Beacon Hill.

Portland, Maine
Portland Head Lighthouse
Downtown Portland
I have never been to Portland but I've heard wonderful things about this coastal Maine city and hope to make it there one of these days. Recently, I was watching an episode of Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" where the man himself visited Portland to try some local seafood. He made a stop at a small local dive, "J's Oyster" and it definitely seemed like my kind of place.

Smuttynose
Smuttynose Island, Maine
(photo by, Rick Holt, 2006)
Smuttynose Island is one of the Isles of Shoals, located off the coast of New Hampshire/ Maine. The Smuttynose Brewing Company, founded in 1994 in Portsmouth New Hampshire, is named after this remote island. This microbrewery produces some incredible beers ... the regular and seasonal Smuttynose selections are local seacoast favorites.
I love the IPA and Robust Porter!!
