Iceland Day 2
If you just want to see the pictures, click here! Saturday morning We had a hearty continental style breakfast including our first picked whitefish (yum!) along with more muesli and yogurt. There was fruit and pastry and boiled eggs as well. After fueling up it was time to hit the road. We debated taking the […]

Iceland Day 1
If you just want to see photos, click here! Thursday evening Despite taking the scenic route through Everett and Revere to avoid I-93 traffic, we arrived at the airport 1 hour earlier than needed. Check-in was fast and we headed to the Air France lounge for “dinner.” The food was ok, the lounge was crowded, […]

Peak #13 Passaconaway Mar 28, 2006 This doesn’t technically count as a winter hike but easily could. I […]

Just a fun hike around Mount Monadnock
I have been thinking a lot about what I want Isaac to believe is “normal” – what activities we do as a family and what he grows up to enjoy. One thing we’re trying to encourage is family dinner time, where we site down together and eat the same thing. So far Isaac is still […]

Finally Forty-Eight part 1 (peaks 1-12)
On August 31, 2013, I hiked my 48th 4000 foot peak in the White Mountains. The AMC has a list of the peaks over 4000 feet and hiking all of them will get you in the club. The club was started in 1957 and welcomed its 10,000th member in 2012. I’m sure more people have […]

Isaac’s First White Mountain Hike
Isaac and I enjoyed a beautiful clear day on Saturday with our first excursion to the White Mountains. We got a later start than we’d hoped, but on the plus side we were both well rested and had a good breakfast. We survived a long traffic backup on I-93 (accident north of the tolls), found […]

Su’s birthday 2013
Last week we celebrated Susan’s birthday in a manner which we frequently do; playing in the snow. Back in 2008 we celebrated with our first big out of town snowshoe trip. Since then a few minor things have changed in our lives like buying a house next to a cross country ski area and having […]

100 and 44
100 At the end of April I decided to pick a goal race (Bay State Half Marathon) and set a training plan (25 weeks). The first 7 weeks are all base building, trying to get my legs used to doing the longer mileages required in later sections of the plan. I managed to hit all […]

Mt. Waumbek (#41) and Mt. Cabot (#42) – Great North Woods
We purposely avoided making plans for Labor Day weekend in favor of enjoying a spontaneous weekend of doing whatever we felt like doing, at our own pace. As nice as it is to have every other Friday off, I can tell you that a 4-day week is the same amount of work as a 5-day […]

Mt Isolation (#40)
As the name implies, this was a long hike, which rewarded us with one spectacular view. We chose Mt. Isolation because the weather promised to be dry for the many stream crossings, and we could get an early start for the nearly 14 mile hike (book time was >11 hours). The mountain sits below the […]
