Kimberly may be getting ready for her next New Hampshire escape, and this blog has been discontinued. Thanks for visiting and happy travels!

Kimberly, I am taking my family (wife, 2.5 yr old daughter and 6 months old daughter) on vacation to Lincoln NH in early Feb. Do you have any advice on things we MUST do? I'm hoping to get my oldest on skiis one afternoon and probably a sleighride (recomendations) another afternoon. Do you have any suggestion of fun things to do with small children in the White Mountains in Feb?

We are relatively adventurous, but I doubt my wife is going to want to take the kids on the Cog Train, although I think that would be fun!

Thanks Tom

Hey Tom -

I hope you have some snow while you're up there!

First things first...check out a past blog on terrific sleigh rides. I would leave the Cog for another season...even I wouldn't go in the winter! However, there is the Snow Coach for some adventurous travel! Since you may try skiing anyhow, check into Loon's event calendar - they are so great with providing family events...like Mo the Clown is there on the 15th. Your kids may even be big enough to go night tubing at Loon...also, that age is appropriate for snowmobiling...check out my favorite Alpine Adventures. And as always, I like to suggest to my readers to never underestimate the local public library where you are...sometimes it's all the kids need to re-energize and change their grumpy pants to now-we-can-do-what-mommy-and-daddy want pants. Have fun!

Kimberly
