Mount Washington, NH is the highest peak in the northeast at 6288 feet. Its enduring presence can be felt throughout the valley that bears its name, a monument and reminder of the presence of rugged nature outside our doors. In one spot it spreads out in a splendid scenic vista, in another it is glimpsed through a thick forest of pine. It appears and disappears at the whim of the weather, sometimes emerging above the clouds like a brilliant Shangri-La. In fact, the Native Americans revered its peak as a sacred place.

The Mount Washington Valley Children's Museum is located only 1 mile from 23 Hill'N Vale at 2936 White Mountain Highway, North Conway. It is a great place to take the toddlers on a rainy or inclement afternoon, when everyone is suffering from cabin fever.

In my opinion, nothing culminates your 4th of July Picnic or Barbecue like a dessert of Strawberry Shortcake. This simple pastry is one of the easiest to make and transport to wherever your dinner venue takes you whether it is a gathering on the back patio, a picnic at Shuler Park before the local Fire Works, or a waterside barbecue after swimming in Echo Lake.

Story Land is a popular New Hampshire summer attraction only 4 miles from 23 Hill'N Vale. Generations of families have been taking their children to Story Land since its opening in 1954. Some even make it a yearly trip. To tell you the truth, I was not enthusiastic about a day long visit to the alpine theme park, but my begging kids finally wore me down. So, on a partly cloudy, mid-80's, midweek summer day we made the journey to the North Country's mecca of childhood.
