Agawam Diner

Found a small diner on Rt 1 in Rowley, Ma this weekend.  The help was frienly, the food was good, prices not bad, and the portions were HUGE.  If you're on the North Shore and don't feel like fast food, stop in and give the Agawam a try.  If you want to show the kids something rare, take them to the bathroom - there's a real pay phone still in the hall way!

Daniel Webster Birthplace

While enjoying the ride along Rt 127 in Webster we noticed the signs for Daniel Webster's birthplace.  A short side trip took us to the historical site.  As you may see in the second picture, the house is open on summer weekends and there is someone there just waiting to answer any questions you may have.  There is no admission and according to the NH Parks and Recreation website the house is open every weekend from June 16th through Sept 3rd. Visit their website for more details ...http://www.nhstateparks.org/explore/state-parks/daniel-webster-birthplace-state-historic-site.aspx

Currier and Ives Scenic Byway

The Currier and Ives Scenic Byway is located in the center of New Hamphire, just west of Concord.  The ride along Rt 127, heading South from Franklin was quiet and peaceful even on a busy summer Saturday.  A google search of "Currier and Ives" will result in several hits, one of which is the NHDOT site http://www.nh.gov/dot/programs/scbp/tours/currierives.htm .  Another good site to visit for information before hitting the road is http://www.currierandivesbyway.org/ by the Currier and Ives Scenic Byway Council.

Madison Boulder

Last week my family and I visited Madison Boulder.  It's a little off the beaten path, but a nice place to stop and stretch your legs. Enjoy the pictures and maybe stop in next time you're in the Conway area. The Madison Boulder Natural Area is off Rt. 113 in Madison. Just follow the signs and don't be afraid of the dirt road at the end, it's not very long. The New Hampshire Parks and Recreation Dept. has a page for the boulder here ... http://www.nhstateparks.org/explore/state-parks/madison-boulder-natural-area.aspx
