We went camping as a family in July to celebrate Elisabeth's and Nathan's birthdays.  On the way home we stopped at Franconia Notch.  How have I missed this all my life?  The pictures cannot do justice to its amazing beauty.  Even Lil'Nathan, who had a massive headache (and it was his birthday!) eventually enjoyed himself and said it was beautiful.

it really drove him crazy that he couldn't go off the trail and climb the rocks

just too much excitement for this new 3 yr old
