Not to grandmother's house, but to the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. Built in 1902 and completely restored a few years ago - it's a vivid and impressive reminder of the glory and grandeur of times past.
It was a lovely drive past silent birch woods,
and frozen ice sculptures along the roadside.

I even spotted this wonderfully weathered silo.
We fly out today at noon, back to California. We'll pack away the big coats and snow boots, but the memories will be as fresh as the new fallen snow. Next week I'll have pix of the finished journal.
Oh wow what a great place to visit but burrr.. Well the photos are awesome. Take care and have a safe trip home.
ReplyDeleteAmanda - Brrr... is right! It was a great trip, but am happy to now be back on the sunny central coast.

No kidding, not California any more, but a beautiful wintry landscape and hotel from another age. I really don't know how people get through winter in such places. I am far too soft. xo
ReplyDeleteMarylinn - I thought, no wonder people back east think we're sorta laissez faire here on the west coast. We can be - life isn't as immediately serious at 60 degrees as it is at 10 below. It was amazingly beautiful and a wonderful visit - but good to be home and warm!
