Dear Diary,
We drove up to Mount Washington, NH today.
We climbed over 6000 ft above sea level to get to the summit (in our car !).
The road is terrifying but there are some amazing sights to see along the way !
David drove, I snapped photos out the car window as we climbed.
We even got to bring the beautiful Chica with us, which was a real treat !
I had to leave my trademark Rock My World rocks on the top.
I thought this one was kind of appropriate for the edge of the observatory...
And this "round to it" seemed to fit well in this cairn with a pair of reading glasses and a small wooden cross left behind for others to find. You never know when you may need one...
You can click to enlarge this photo to see the offerings left behind...
Many people have left their mark on the top of this high mountain place...
But the largest and most beautiful mark of all was made by the hand of God...
On our perch on the top of the world,
we took our share of family photos...
Here is me getting some Chica kisses...
And here is one of David's signature looks...
But of course, like in most photo shoots, the kids steal the show...
Here is the Chica-dog doing her imitation of a pig in doo-doo...
she rolled over and over again in the lichen and mountain grass,
obviously just so happy to be there with us!
And then, of course, she gave us that perfect puppy pose for the scrapbook ...
Yes, diary, our July day at Mount Washington
was the closest thing
to Heaven that I've found...
(David and I would like to thank the Carpenters for that perfect soundtrack to our little adventure...we sang it on the way...we are still singing it...because it is just one of those songs that sticks in your head forever, and ever... Glad we could share it with you !)
;)
