We rolled into Crawford Notch Camp Ground at around 5, rainy foggy and humid. Knowing we didn't have a rain fly for our tent we headed into town to grab some tarps and some more supplies.
After a soggy night at camp we awoke refreshed to an overcast day. Made breakfast got a good shower and headed out just to relax.
Our travels then brought us to the Mount Washington hotel. I seem to be drawn to there and Alex just likes people watching. I ventured into the ladies room and had to take this picture. Nice new windows that the vines have decided to grow through. You can see there were more but have been clipped. Later I found flower vases on the table containing the same type of vine plant. Hmm... looks like a bit of in house gardening going on, roots and all.
We then headed out onto the new wing roof/patio that over looks the pool. Where I caught this photo of Alex as he contemplated something serious.
Next we moved inside to the first floor rear verandah, now enclosed it has nice wicker furniture with fluffy pillows. We put our feet up here for a while and people watched. I spent some time catching up on my blog, then accidentally deleted it.

Then we went upstairs using the hundred and nine year old Otis Elevator, recently refurbished. I asked the nice elevator operator about the history of the elevator. The five minute wait for it just to go up one floor was worth it.
On the lobby floor we sat inside of the round sitting room in over-sized wicker furniture where Alex did some more contemplating. I think he was thinking about changing the decor in this giant mansion we just bought, as he hates pillows.
After much deep thinking, and watching the very interesting guest of a wedding get drinks on the Veranda Bar, we too decided it was only appropriate to end our evening at the Mount Washington Hotel with a beer. We moved on outside to the Veranda and got ourselves a beer as we watched Mt Washington disappear behind a veil of clouds.
Below is a clouded view of Mt Washington from the Veranda.
After relaxing at the Mount Washington hotel we made our way to Sugar Hill New Hampshire, to hopefully catch the sunset. My mother had told me about parking spot on a hill where you could see all of the Whtw Mountains. We got up there and there was no place to park, and the overlook was grown in with summer foliage. The only reason I knew we found the spot was the sight seeing binoculars that take coins to see.
We the headed back to camp to cook the food we bought the night before. On the ride back down Sugar Hill I took this photo.
After we cooked dinner and chatted by the campfire we got a sweet little visitor that was very fond of cheddar cheese potato chips, CRUNch crunch crunch crunch. He even laid down a few times to munch away in front of us.
