Good afternoon, everyone!
Let's continue where I left off....
♥ Day Two ♥
Washing up in the morning
The buffet, or "appetizer" portion of the breakfast
Our breakfast table
At the time, I thought this was the breakfast,
so as you can see, I really piled it on!
... until I discovered this at the table!
I ordered the French Toast, and
received this adorable treat :)
Mmm...
♥
My mom's yummy dish
After breakfast, we met up with a family friend who
lives in the area, and were taken on a tour of a lifetime! . . .
First, he took us to Island Pond in the town of Stoddard
I went kayaking!
Drifting around...
Beautiful!
Someone built a dock and staircase into a boulder... cool idea!
Charming home on the pond
Wild blueberries (they were everywhere!)
After kayaking, we were taken for a drive
through some of the towns in the area . . .
Lovely log cabin in Marlow
Village Pond
Close-up on the gorgeous structures
I couldn't stop snapping away at them
(can you imagine how lovely it'll look in autumn?!)
Odd Fellows Hall
The Congregational Church
Absolutely beautiful home
(they even had an apple tree in
the backyard... so perfect! ♥)
Homestead Bookshop in Marlow
Always my favorite section!
After Marlow, we drove through the
town of Dublin, and guess where I made
them screech the car to a halt? . . .
Yankee Magazine!
I was so ecstatic to see their headquarters in person,
I made my mom take me inside to profess
our love of the magazine (to their receptionist :p)
I was also this close to begging for a position!
♥
Eventually, we ended up in Keene and went for
a quick lunch (I didn't take any photos there, but
don't fret, I certainly will in October!), then called it
a day and returned back to the Hancock Inn . . .
This is what I bought at the Bookshop, by the way :)
Before we knew it, it was after six, and dinner time! . . .
Mom posing at our table
Cheers!
First Course
Calamari
with Marinara Sauce and Lemon-Garlic Aioli
Second Course
Herb Crusted Day Boat Cod
with Mashed Potatoes and a Malt Vinegar Remoulade
Mom about to eat the inn's signature dish:
The Shaker Cranberry Pot Roast
... mmm!
Third Course
Flourless Chocolate Torte
topped with a scoop of Blackberry Sorbet
... one of the most delicious desserts I've ever had.
Are you stuffed? 'Cause I sure am!
Mom relaxing on the rocking chair
before we set off for our last stroll
The old homes looked so beautiful glowing
against the blue tinted hue of the evening
Sigh... ♥
This came out rather blurry, but I still think it's lovely
Back at the inn, about to cozy-up under
the covers, and read my new cookbook...
Goodnight!
♥ Our Departure ♥
Our pretty table setting the next morning
As you can see, I went a little lighter on
the starters the second morning!
(P.S.- that Raspberry-Blueberry
muffin was absolutely divine!)
I ordered the Poached Eggs with Melted Swiss
... great way to start off the day!
Couldn't resist including this
(have you noticed I'm a tad New England-obsessed?)
Taking one last photo of Hancock...
Goodbye for now! See you again in October!
♥
Back at home with my souvenirs
(New Hampshire Maple Syrup,
and my beloved Maple Syrup Candy!)
Lola helping me unpack...
shes' such an angel :)
Hope you enjoyed this tour of Hancock!

ReplyDeleteSee the congregational church on Stoddard Lake?
I have a 100 yr old picture of my great grandpa standing outside that church, he was a Deacon there., (I think) And, the two doors are for women and men to enter separately.
Thank you for this post that made my heart
Trill!

Eeek!!! Must do something about that, for sure!!! For now I shall live vicariously through your gorgeous photos and perfectly charming words. You really should have hit up Yankee Magazine for a job!!! They would be lucky to have you!!!

You should be a tour guide, you got all the best bits and took us all along with you! A beautiful journey, love your Mom and the wonderful pictures! So happy you had a wonderful time, and Lola is gorgeous too! Happy weekend xox

It's so cool to tour New England with you..., I hardly ever make it to the country sides and have seen little of that. It sure is gorgeous!! And, oh the breakfast..., more like brunch. It looks so yummy.
ReplyDeleteMaya @ Completely Coastal
My Jeffrey used to live in Marlow! I was telling him how you should be working for Yankee Magazine and you better go for it because they would love you! Isn't that funny....and then you do a post about it....Ha! I'm rooting for you! :)
ReplyDeleteI was just in Keene! Thanks to your post I hope we can stay in Hancock next summer...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou should go back to the Yankee Magazine and give it a shot:-)
Gorgeous, gorgeous photos, lady! I live a very short distance from NH and I cannot believe I have never spent any significant time up that way! I love the idyllic scenes of these quaint and charming towns. Isn't New England the best? I can never get enough of it. Plus, with fall approaching, I switch gears and actually get into blogging; I love how the season really brings New England to life.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing your photos from Keene in October. And definitely stop by and ask for a job at Yankee Magazine. :)
What a wonderful trip Erin. You have a lovely life! Lola looked quite happy to have you back. This is a place we will have to put on our list to visit. Susan :)
ReplyDeletejust stopping by cause i love it here so much..lola is darling....we love our kittys

Great photos - I feel like I'm there too! Did you get to eat any of those leaf shaped maple candies? Love love those!
ReplyDeleteYankee is the best magazine! Full of gorgeous photos, interesting stories, and wonderful event calendars. I once had a photo accepted as an e-card but no employment offer, drats!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great trip you had! I can see why you fell in love with NH, it is a great place to visit.
So much to swooooon about!!!
ReplyDeleteThose homes in glowing in the night...the maple candy (I miss that like crazy, can't be found here)....the lovely b&b...the lake...and imagining it all in autumn colors! :)
Such a wonderful trip...lucky YOU!
xoxo
My husband and I stayed there about three years ago--it is sooo lovely isn't it! You had a wonderful stay, good for you:-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tour. You made me feel like I was right there with you and your mum. I agree with the others who said you would be a great asset to Yankee Magazine. Your enthusiasm for this area is unmatched!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to have found your blog! It's nice to see that someone my age appreciates and loves these period homes and these charming towns. Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteTim
Tim, I just went through your blog, and I can't believe I found such a kindred spirit in you! You and I certainly share the same passion for old homes and New England. And I'm so excited for you that your dream is becoming a reality! I'm already loving your blog too- your pictures are gorgeous- and I'm excited to see what house you decide to buy. How wonderful! Keep in touch! :)
