As the 8th generation of our family to occupy the same house on Moultonboro Neck, summers at the lake are a way to feel connected to family history and people like my grandfather, who died 10 years before I was born.

My grandmother and my mom reminisced about grandpa more at the lake than they did else where, most likely because it holds so many of their fondest memories of him. So as someone who didn't get to know my grandfather in person, the lake was where I got to know him. We still owned his boat until I was a teenager and we enjoyed exploring all the same places he had showed my mom when she was a kid. The same places he explored as a child when he would make the trek up from NYC with his parents to visit his dad's childhood home. The boat may be newer now, but it is still fun to explore the same places.
