I can barely remember this and a few details were filled in much later by my now deceased mother.
After finishing third grade I was told that our family was going to Mt Washington and Lake Winnipesaukee for a week that summer.
I had a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle of a beautiful snow capped mountain reflecting in a small pond.
Somehow this became my expectation for our vacation.
We arrived after dark at a small rental cabin above the Weirs.
In the morning I got my first glimpse of the lake.
It looked very different than my puzzle!
We headed up to the Mt Washington cog railway for a ride to the summit that terrified my mom.
Upon our return to our cabin my mom declared that her tooth hurt really bad.
Apparently it was abscessed and for some reason a dentist was not consulted.
Then it started raining, a lot, so we went home the next day.
Fortunately, on the advice of an employee, my wife and I gave the area another try in 2003.
We now live here full time!
