Friday afternoon

So, up to this point we stayed at the Spalding Inn on Thursday night.  The inn is owned by Jason and Grant from the TV show Ghost Hunters.  It's a nice place nestled in a national forest.  Very pretty!  The scenery is lovely with snow capped mountains.  It can be quite cold in the shade with the wind but the sun is shinning and warm after raining most of the two hour drive from the airport.

We didn't get to the inn until about 9pm and we hadn't eaten so we had drinks and a bar snack sampler plate before going to our room.  We stayed in the Carriage House and it's actually like a house that we had a bedroom in (two twin beds).  There was no TV or anything so we watched Avatar on my laptop.

We checked out of the hotel early in the morning and drove into Littleton for breakfast.  We walked around downtown and ended up in a martini bar (it's 5:00 somewhere) for a couple of cocktails.

It wasn't too far to our final destination from there.

The Mount Washington Hotel

The hotel was built in 1902 and it's a grand old place.  They say it's the vacation place of Presidents and Kings.  It is really nice and it looks and feels like where Old Money comes to relax.  This must be the first time that room service has addressed me by "Madam".
