Day 27: New Hampshire, Twice

We sadly had to leave our generous and lovely hosts in New Hampshire this morning.

Lon learned about a game called Mine Craft. He really likes it.  We are having coffee, slowly.

Lon showing off the lego creations he made.

We passed a sign for Hebert's Candy. I love Heberts. We had some candies from there at our wedding!  It is now called Colonial Candies. It is in the same place! Heberts was sold, and the people who ran it had seller's remorse. They did not sell the store on Sugar Road, so that is what is now Colonial Candies.
This is where Mark discovered that we forgot his camera and glasses
We had to go back to New Hampshire! We got a small box of candy and headed back north.

The next couple of photos are of Salem New Hampshire.
Here is a history bit about Salem.

The area was first settled in 1652. As early as 1736, Salem was the "North Parish" of Methuen, Massachusetts, or "Methuen District." In 1741, when the boundary line between Massachusetts and New Hampshire was re-established, the "North Parish" became part of New Hampshire, and was given the name "Salem," taken from nearby Salem, Massachusetts. It was incorporated in 1750 by Colonial Governor Benning Wentworth.
In 1902, Canobie Lake Park was established in Salem by the Massachusetts Northeast Street Railway Company, to encourage leisure excursions on its trolleys. The plan was successful, and the enterprise quickly became one of the leading resorts of its type in New England. Crowds arrived from all over, including the nearby mill towns of Haverhill, Lawrence, Lowell and Methuen in Massachusetts, and Manchester and Nashua in New Hampshire. Factory workers and others found respite strolling along tree-lined promenades, between flower-beds or beside the lake. Rides, arcades and a dance hall provided lively entertainments. The rise of the automobile, however, brought the decline of the trolley. But Canobie Lake Park, one of the few former street railway amusement resorts still in existence, continues to be popular.

We picked up our forgotten things, dropped off the chocolates and headed back south!

An old mill in Worcester.  I love these old buildings. Some day I want to go see the Lowell Mill Historic District.  I think Lon would like it too

We brought back a pound or so of nicely cleaned Lobster meat. Godfather and Holly joined us for dinner of lobster rolls. They brought salads. It was a lovely feast.  We had a good time visiting. Lon was showing Godfather and Holly how to play Angry Birds in Space. 

Lon got mini cupcakes for dessert!  Yummy! 

It was a good day
