Unfortunately our week in New Hampshire with Road Scholar "The Nature of New Hampshire: Trains & Boats with your Grandchild" comes to an end today. Although it was hot, we couldn't have asked for better weather. This group had so much fun riding the Mount Washington Cog Railway, exploring the Polar Caves, riding the Aerial Tram, spending a day with the animals and on the water at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center and delivering mail on Lake Winnipesaukee. We were lucky enough to spot a moose (oh, and did I mention we had lots of ice cream)? Thank you to our wonderful Group Leader Kim and Bus Driver Carrie - you two knocked this week out of the park!

Today's a wrap on our first of three Road Scholar "Magic, Music & Nature: The Great Smokies with your Grandchild" this season. This group of grandparents and kids had so much fun! Whether it was making canjos and playing a song, learning magic tricks with Jason Hudy of "Illusionation", meeting with the members of the Oconaluftee Indian Village or hanging out with the cowboys at the Skyland Ranch nobody stopped smiling for six days! Thank you to our wonderful Group Leader Linda for an amazing week of memories.
