Santa's Village/Franconia Trip Day 1 & 2

We went to the White Mountains again this year with the Corliss family.  We planned on going to Franconia Notch State Park on Friday and go to Santa's Village in the afternoon.  When you go after 3:00 you get a return pass for the next day. The weather forecast was pretty bleak and when we went to the The Basin it was pouring, but as we were leaving the sun came out and it turned out to be a hot sunny day, we had the same great weather the rest of the weekend with a few quick rain showers mixed it.  It turned out so great.  The other bonus was I think people must of been scared off due to the weather, because the park was empty, especially Friday afternoon. The kids had the run of the place! Going to a theme park with other kids was so much fun, they all had a great time figuring out who was going to ride with who.  After the park when we went back to the cottages we cooked dinner and made a camp fire while the kids played with each other and some of the other kids staying at the motel.  It was a great trip, we are going to hopefully do a repeat of it next year, but go to Storyland.  

After we went to the Basin we went to Polly's Pancake House for lunch.

After lunch we headed to  Santa's Village for day 1 and then to the cottage for dinner.

 

On Saturday morning we went to Santa's Village for a full day.
