Another great day of sunshine and cool weather, we just love it - its just so beautiful, we drove over the White Mountains and saw the Mt. Washington Resort, this is amazing, we heard a little of the history of this amazing place, Reed took some really good pictures, I have some simple ones here.
The Man that built this place bought 10,000 acres in 1900 for $1.00 per Acre and bought 10,000 acres, then he stared building this beautiful place and he had it done in 18 months, completly finished and ready for guests, it cost him 1.2 million in 1901, it has almost all the orginal things in it still, and had Albert Eienstien put in the electrical, it was one of the 1st places to have it, most homes at this time didn't have electicity and it also had a phone, it may take 6 hours to connect to New York, but they did have a phone, this place was built for the very wealthy, and they had all the conveniences possible.
The drive was so beautiful we loved the color that is happening this time of year !
We are staying in West Lebanon NH, this evening its really close to Sharon Vermont, we couldn't find anything in Sharon Vermont.
