BALLOONS AT THE BEACH
Corazoncitos
Here is a very happy big kid who has just stumbled across a balloon vender at the beach. Actually there is one person carrying all those! This photo was taken during the Seafood festivals. During the summer seasons all vendors remain in there shops.
THE USS ALBACORE
Albacore Park is the site of a world-famous submarine, the Portsmouth-built USS Albacore, and of a memorial garden honoring those who lost their lives while serving aboard American submarines. The USS Albacore was a prototype for today's submarines. It and the USS Nautilus, the first nuclear-powered submarine, formed the roots of our country's modern undersea fleet. I remember well when the USS Thresher went down during sea trials back in the early 60's. This is a great opportunity to visit this sub and see what life was like back in the days of diesel powered submarines. You will leave with a totally new perspective. A must for the whole family. Just 20 minutes from Hampton.
THE SHELL AT HAMPTON BEACH
A TYPICAL SUMMER DAY AT HAMPTON BEACH
By the looks of this photo I would say I took it on a week day probably in late May or June. I say this because of all the clothing people are wearing. The girl in the red hat to the left is sitting on the cement steps that lead up to the casino. The shell and Chamber of Commerce would be directly across from where she is sitting. Also the main beach can be seen off in the distance.
CANOBIE LAKE PARK
The Canobie Lake Merry-go-Round. One of the oldest rides of it's kind in the U.S.
You can have Six Flags and Wally World! Here in New Hampshire we have Canobie Lake Park. Located just 45 minutes away you'll find one of the most charming amusement parks in the country. Built in the early 1900's Canobie Lake has been the ultimate summer family destination ever since. The park is located in Windham NH on the shores of crystal clear Canobie Lake. Once you enter the park (which has free parking by the way) you will be amazed. Admission of about $25 for adults and I believe $18 for kids covers all rides all day! They some how have maintained the original atmosphere while still mixing in all the new rides that the kids love. You'll stroll under a canopy of shade trees and wind through the paths that have a surprise at every turn. Everything from one of the oldest roller coasters and Merry-Go-Round to the pirate ship and Boston Tea party. There are a multitude of food vendors plus two sit down restaurants and a tavern serving beer and wine. I would have to say that this place is one of the safest and most enjoyable amusement parks I have ever been too. I can't wait to get back there again this year!

MARKET SQUARE DAY
Portsmouths' summer kick off has to be Market Square Day. This tradition began in May of 1979 when a group of ambitious people decided that a full blown celebration was in order. I'll never forget the first one. No one really knew what to expect. What they got was overwhelming! tens of thousands of people streaming into the downtown area to hear the music, indulge in all types of street vender food and just party all day. From there it has grown over the years to one of the Seacoast largest two day events. It now encompasses all of downtown from Market Square to the water front. Do to the frequent rain in the month of May the festival was moved to June. For the exact date of this years event check out the Portsmouth Chamber web site. If you plan on attending wear comfortable shoes because you may have to walk quite a distance from your car and then you'll have to walk all around Portsmouth as well!
