Monday was our first day of vacation in North Conway. The town is quite as the masses don't hit town until Memorial day. It is a little bit like Capri was in Italy, which is about two weeks away from "go" time. All the businesses are painting, and setting up shop for the big season. Fine by us. A couple of places (Storyland, some ice cream shops, etc...) aren't open but most things are. The weather is perfect and should be all week. It is actually a perfect time to be up here. Mosquitos, black flies, heat, and crowds will be here in two weeks, all of which are not great with two crazy kids.
Day one we hit the pool by 7:30AM since these kids will not sleep in! We hit the game room downstairs and then tubs. (This actually becomes the morning routine every day here) We walk into town and putz around the train station deciding against a 2 hour scenic train tour. We just explored around the train yard, which was probably cooler. We checked out the golf course and spent an hour or so at the playground. Lunch, naps, and then an afternoon hike at Diana's Bath which was a perfect 1.2 mile round trip to a cool waterfall. Lauri showed Dylan a picture of a lady going into an ambulance for slipping on the wet rocks. We told him to be careful of the wet rocks... Dylan with a petrified look says "We need to be careful or the ambulance will come for Dylan?" Needless to say we spent the first 10 minutes of the hike convincing him that an ambulance was not coming, we just need to be careful near the waterfall.
The hike went really well and Dylan walked the whole thing including walking "carefully" around the waterfall. He is really a big fan of walking sticks and really likes our little hiking adventures. After the hike we did dinner and movie night.
