In order to understand what a gigantic win this was for me, you need to understand my husband.
Mike ... drives for a living, he spends his day in and out of a service truck - and is even bounced from delivery truck to crane truck whenever the need for help in those areas arise. So to get him to take a multiple hour, few hundred mile day trip - just to allow me to see a hotel, and possibly meet some TV Personalities, is huge. They weren't even there - for the record - no one was - and it was pretty rough, but we had a good time anyway.
Here are a few of the pictures from our day trip ... I apologize for the lateness, and the lack of story ...

(A little history: "The Willey House, formerly a small inn and residence in Crawford Notch, is the site of a landslide that claimed nine lives in August of 1826. Though the surrounding area was strewn with boulders and debris, the Willey House stood unharmed. The family however, perished in the landslide, becoming part of the legend of Willey House."

The reportedly haunted (yet still majestic) Mount Washington Hotel:
Emily asked if she could take a picture too:
Our Destination - the Spalding Inn:
Daddy and Emi, posing with one of the "Knights"
The View from Behind the Inn.
We had a really great day, and even though "they" weren't there, we still enjoyed the ride, and scouted out places for our next "northern" day trip.
Because I was driving - I couldn't take many pictures - Mike's not as good at it, and refuses to "screw up a possibly great shot" trying. There were a few things we saw up that way that ... normally, would cause a person a moments pause, to digest what in fact was seen. To name a few?
An Elderly Gentleman walking his Microwave.
An Elderly Gentleman monitoring the watering of his flowers, by a timed - automatic sprinkler system.
A Motorcycle hanging from a tree.
A Gentleman and his young son hitch hiking down Crawford Notch ... we would have stopped, had we not had Emily, and had 2 more seats in the van. We offered to call them help, but they weren't interested in that.

Amazing! Looks like a great day. I'm interested in the haunted Mt. Washington, I hadn't heard that.
I am also curious about the man and his mircrowave...
I have no idea where we were, what town or road ... there was an elderly gentleman walking down the sidewalk, with a microwave on his shoulder - like in the 80s when kids carried boom boxes? Just, walking ... like it was no big deal.
