A Taste of New Hampshire’s Hampton Beach and Seacoast Area

A taste of New Hampshire’s Hampton beach and the Seacoast Area

Over the fourth of July Jay and I camped out on one New England’s top rated beaches. We stayed at the Hampton State Beach Park RV campground. The state maintains a small campground on one of the prettiest spots on the beach right near the jetty. The campground is only for self-contained units and we were lucky enough to get a spot in the “over flow” area for the long holiday weekend.

Fireworks, bike rides and long walks on the beach

Talk about a perfect spot! We got see fireworks without leaving our motor home, Seabrook NH put on a display that could shame many much larger towns and then of course there were Hampton’s fireworks, bike rides and long walks on the beach to top our weekend off. [Read more...]

Beachmere Inn Tweetup

Stunningly Beautiful Beachmere Inn

On Saturday Jan 15, Jay and I took a ride to Maine to enjoy an amazing tweetup hosted by Sarah Diment, the wonderful innkeeper at the stunningly beautiful Beachmere Inn.  The tweetup was actually for the whole weekend but due to work and other obligations we could only do a day trip.  We love the coast of Maine so it was an extra special treat to be able to not only spend the day along the shore but to be able to visit with old and new friends, many of whom we only get to chat with online.

Awesome Ocean from location just an hour from Hampstead

The Beachmere Inn is located in Ogunquit Maine which is a little less than an hour from Hampstead NH and it is so worth the trip. If you’ve  never been and want to find a sweet place for a get away I highly recommend The Beachmere Inn, not only is the location picture perfect but the staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating!

Check out their website and The Beachmere Breeze Blog for more info about the inn.

Dinner with some fun peeps at Bintliff’s

Saturday night we had dinner with some awesome folks from the Tweetup at a local restaurant called Bintliff’s and my dinner (prime rib) was excellent! Dana Moos her husband Greg, Lesley Lambert & Morriss Partee, Ann Cummings & Jim Lee, Carol & Tom Spellman, Kim, Rich and Emma Leute as well as an other couple,  Heidi and Gary Burnham who are innkeepers at the Alantean Cottage a bed & breakfast in Bar Harbor Maine made the evening extra special.

The Tweetup was awesome and I can’t wait till we do another one.

Cool Video

Please check out my short 3 minute video about the tweetup  #bchmeretweetup and the wonderful location it was held at.

Living in NH ~ Special places to explore

Living in NH ~ Special places to explore

One of our favorite things to do for relaxation is camping. We have a motor home so camping for us is very comfortable but I will say that every now and then I do miss my tent camping days.  Living in New Hampshire gives us plenty of camping opportunities and while there are many awesome campgrounds right here in NH we do have a few favorite places in Maine.

Recently we tried a new to us camping spot. We fell into a cancellation and enjoyed a week camping ocean front in Southport Maine which is right next to one of our favorite destinations in Maine, Boothbay Harbor.

From our southern NH location Boothbay is a 2.5 to 3 hour ride and that makes it great for a quick getaway.  The slide show below highlights some pictures of the Boothbay Harbor area that we’ve taken during our many trips there, while the video showcases our campsite.

This trip we stayed at Gray Homestead Ocean Front campground, it is not an RV resort so if luxury is what you’re looking for this is not it BUT if an ocean front location is your luxury, you’ll love it here.

Ocean front camping

We camped right off the beach and while our location was in the open with no shade it was perfect for us. This video shows our campsite and a little bit of the Boothbay area.

Life is good in New Hampshire, not only are there lots of fun things to do but home ownership is within reach. If real estate interests you we have some incredibly priced homes to meet all budgets and with interest rates as low as they for a buyer ready for home ownership the time is ripe.

Call or e-mail us if you’d like to chat about your home ownership options. I think you’ll be surprised at what might be awaiting you.
