New England Road Trip - Day 6

Today we had a bunch of little stops on our way to our destination. The first stop was at the Gillette Castle, owned by the first Sherlock Holmes. A real castle with hidden tricks within the home. After that, we explored the first nuclear submarine, USS Nautilus, in Groton, CT. We drove next to Old Mystic Village, where we did a little shopping. We ended our day at Newport, Road Island. 

New England Road Trip - Day 5

After a slow-paced night, we got up right away and drove to Springfield, MA, where we stopped at the Armory to look at historical war weapons. Dad even found his grandpa’s gun. We quickly grabbed a bite to eat and drove to New Haven, CT. While there, we attended Peabody’s Museum of Natural History and explored Yale University. We ended our night eating at Modern Apizza (famous CT pizza). It was a so-so hit for our family. 

New England Road Trip - Day 4

We started our day at Diana’s Bath in New Hampshire, where we hiked and explored the beautiful waterfalls. It was a great way to start the day. We then headed west to Littleton’s Chutters candy store, which has the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest candy counter. We finished our day in Stowe, Vermont, where we went to the Ben & Jerry’s factory and then spent the night relaxing by the pool.

New England Road Trip - Day 3

Today we got up early to spend most of our day at Acadia National Park. It was cloudy, which limited the ocean views but kept the temperatures down too, which was great for hiking. We drove the Cadillac Road to get to the top of the mountain, which was beautiful. We also hiked three hikes with lots of steep rocks to climb. We then jumped in the car for a four-hour drive to North Conway, NH, for a night of swimming in the hotel with the mini waterslides. Great day!
