After our visits in Vermont, we drove a short distance to another new state--New Hampshire!
We didn't have much time there or many things that we really wanted to see, but we made a stop in Concord, the capitol city.
We saw the outside of the capitol building, as well as the grounds there. They had a grand entry to the grounds, a replica of the Liberty Bell, and statues of famous people from New Hampshire: Franklin Pierce, 14th President of the United States; Daniel Webster, a U.S. Senator; and John P. Hale, a politician who helped develop an anti-slavery party.
It was a beautiful afternoon and the kids enjoyed running around.
I loved some of the details in the ornamentation around the statues, as well as the beautiful large trees. There's just something so amazing about old trees with lots of branches spreading in all directions.
Across from the capitol building was the state library.
And that was our short visit in the small state of New Hampshire!
