Summer Vacation in New Hampshire

Summer is almost here and the kids are getting excited to go on our annual trip to New Hampshire. We normally go up to North Conway because it is close to one of our favorite day trips, Story Land. In case you have never herd of Story Land it is a park for kids with story book themes. What I like about Story Land as that the parents can ride along with the kids on all the rides.

One of our favorite rides was the Bamboo Chutes which is a flume type ride. You should have seen the kids faces when we went down the first time they had no idea what was going to happen. Neither did my wife Joy. Because she is originally from the Philippines she had never been to an amusement park.

One highlight from Story Land for my daughters was meeting Cinderella. The girl who played the part was wonderful. Story Land has tons of great rides for the littlest kids to even kid rides us adults can enjoy.

We love to go to North Conway because it has some awesome shops and restaurants. There is a shop with all Christmas stuff. It is full of life sized dolls that move and lights and trees. It's like Christmas in the summer. There is a scenic railroad and Tram ride that goes up into the mountain. North Conway is also located in away to go to some of the other great day trips.

Some of the other places we love to go to are Santa's Village and Clark's Trading Post. Like Story Land Santa's Village is an amusement park with at Christmas Theme. They have a huge flume a Rudolph roller coaster, and really cool monorail set up as Santa's sleigh. Clark's Trading post another family favorite has trained preforming bears. The bears swing on a swing walk on barrels and even ride a bike.

But because it is a four hour ride for us to North Conway we always stay overnight at the Comfort Inn right in down town. It's great because you get free waffles for breakfast and there is a Pirate Themes miniature golf course attached to the hotel. We usually book the hotel from Hotels Combined. We get a good deal and it's easy to book the hotel for the days we want. The great thing about North Conway is there are lots of hotels to choose from. You can go for super luxury to family priced. I personal go for family priced so we can stay longer and have more fun.
