Prescott Park Portsmouth NH Dock - Ann Cummings 2007

Summer here along America's tiniest coast in New Hampshire is really just the cat's meow! In my opinion, there is no better place to be than here in the Portsmouth New Hampshire area for summer, or any other time of year.

Hi Jay - Check Skybus.com. They have seats on every flight of theirs for $10.00 each!! There are loads of other things going on in Prescott Park, so you could really take in a lot if you fly on up here! ;-)

Hi Missy - you should see all the absolutely gorgeous flowers in person. These pictures, no matter how hard I tried, just do not begin to capture what's really there. Local landscape companies and gardening centers donate the plantings and the University of New Hampshire maintains the gardens as far as I know. And they are really so pretty. I walked around the gardens last weekend for about an hour, and I still didn't get to all of them. There's a whole section I'm going to try to get to tomorrow morning with my camera.

Lots to do WHEN you come for a visit!!

Ann.... nice layout and great post. I didn't know that they had a "my b-day" tour and that it's only on August 11th... lol I'll wish you a happy b-day now, in case I forget. By the way, my sister's b-day is the day before yours.

Overall....looks like there is so much to do and this is just August.

Ann, I like the Indigo Girls, maybe I'll hang out on the wall and listen in!! I can't believe it's August...the kids are getting their "meet the teachers" open house letters already :(

Have you seen The Sound of Music yet? I want to make that show before it ends.

Jeff - Ah, you passed the test! Thanks for the b-day greetings! Yep, we do have LOTS to do here, that's for sure!!

Sue - No, I haven't yet made it to see "The Sound of Music"......YET! I can almost walk to the park, so I really should get down there. I've been seeing ads for 'back to school' stuff and it really seems way too early for that!

Joan - yep, WAY too short for sure!!
