Going to Fenway


Fenway park in Summer is wonderful. In June it's not too hot yet, there is still hope that the season will go well (the Red Sox are winning more than they are losing) and just being there gives you a sense of belonging. Of course there are a lot of reasons not to go to Fenway. Tickets can be difficult to get, the food and beverages are pretty expensive and it's a little easier to see sitting on the couch.

So here's a few tips: take a water bottle, buy Standing Room Only (SRO) tickets and eat before you go. That brings down the cost of the trip significantly. Sitting on the couch singing "Sweet Caroline" is not nearly as much fun as singing it in Fenway with 35,000 other fans.

Surfing in New Hampshire?


When you think about New Hampshire, you probably think about the White Mountains. Don't you? Eighteen miles of New Hampshire is coastline. Rocky shores with pretty little beaches and beautiful views of the Isles of Shoals. Not many people realize that there is great surfing in New Hampshire, particularly in North Hampton. It's not crazy waves like you see in Hawaii or Australia, but the waves get pretty big. This picture is right after a storm. Just makes you want to head to the beach doesn't it? While you're at the beach you might want to head down 1A and pick yourself up a Lobster Roll at the Beach Plum. Be prepared to share it, they are usually too big for one person! - AMA
