Challenge Accepted!

This year for Christmas my awesome brother and sister-in-law gave us a one year family pass to the New Hampshire State Parks. Of course, our first thought after "thank you for this great gift" was "Hmmm ... this kind of sounds like a challenge to see how many parks we can visit in one year", and my second thought was "we should create a blog to record our progress visiting all these parks!". So, in response we would like to say "Challenge accepted!" and "Welcome to our blog" :)

Over the next several months we will try to visit as many New Hampshire State Parks as possible, and we will chronicle our attempts here. Some parks are nearby (the beach parks and the other Seacoast area parks) and others are further afield (up north in the mountains). Some are easy to get to (including one that is walking distance from our house) and others are a bit challenging to access (including one on an island without any ferry service).

What will (hopefully) be great about this challenge is that it will get us out exploring this state we call home. Despite having lived here for several years there is still so much of the state we have not seen and enjoyed yet. We are hoping to get out exploring as soon as possible, despite this being the off-season for the NH State Parks. So, stay tuned for updates!
