I grew up in the mid-west, so going to the beach required a 1200-2000 mile trip in either direction. To live less than an hour from the beach is a treat that still amazes me.  For years Janet had shared stories of her family going to Hampton Beach.  It seemed only logical that one of the first places to explore would be the beach.  Hampton Beach is very popular in New England. New Hampshire has only about 30 miles of coast line, but many visitors from Canada to New York. I walked the boardwalk that was lined with t-shirt shops, souvenir stands, arcades, and eateries. Before leaving, I found a great little crab shack to enjoy an authentic New England seafood dinner. There will be other posts about the beach because this is one adventure that keeps us living in New England like a tourist.
