So the last two days we were there, we stayed at this super quaint little inn by the sea. We actually found out that it was the same inn that Mike’s grammy stayed at when their family first moved to New Hampshire a long time ago… it was really awesome.
The first morning we stayed there, we went and visited the Seacoast Science Center. It had a lot of tide pools we could walk around and it also had a touch pool inside that we could play with.
Tennyson got to touch a sea urchin and a starfish. He held the sea urchin for a while, but didn’t like the starfish as much and tried to throw it on the ground. Poor little starfish.
During Tennyson’s morning nap, we drove all around the Portsmouth area and got to see some really cool things, including the Portsmouth naval yard. We rolled down our windows and could hear the bells and morning announcements.
Then we walked around the shops of downtown Portsmouth and stopped all along the way to look out at the tug boats and fishing boats.
Later that afternoon we were able to stop by the house Mike’s dad grew up in and the graves of his uncle and grandpa. It was really nice to be able to visit.
Near the house and cemetery, we saw a cute little farmer’s market, so we decided to pull off and visit! We decided to buy some maple cream soda to try. I didn’t know if I’d like it, but it actually ended up being very, very delicious! (I figured Mike would love it since he used to drink maple syrup as a kid.)
Then that night we went for a nice little walk along the beach. Tennyson was still scared of the waves. But it was the perfect ending to the day.
