mt. mooselauke

i had a nice 4th of july weekend.
it began with sam adam's summer variety pack.
four of us went to see the fireworks over the charles river in downtown boston.
it was very crowded and there was no wind so all the smoke blocked some of the fireworks.
still, it was pretty.

on saturday i didn't do much. just hung around the house.
on sunday, jessica and i drove to new hampshire to the white mountains.
we hiked mt. mooselauke. it was a 7.5-mile trail that looped to the top of the 4,802 foot mountain. It was kinda intense. the way up was basically like climbing stairs for 2.5 straight hours, but instead of stairs they were rocks. the way down was a bit easier.

it was definitely worth the pain - so beautiful!
