Labor Day at the Lake in New Hampshire

09/02/14 | Boat Day, East Coast, fitness, New England, New Hampshire, The Americas, Travel, United States

Two days of my Labor Day Weekend were spent with family at Lake Sunapee.  I have so many fond memories of this New Hampshire lake growing up and each time I come back I appreciate its beauty even more, especially the lighthouses. The ten mile lake has five lighthouses, three of which are on the National register. Growing up I always remember being told that they were only lighthouses on a lake East of the Mississippi but I have not been able to verify that.  If you want to know more I won’t bore you but Wikipedia has you covered.  

At the lake this weekend I was planning to cross the “re-learn how to waterski” item off my 101 in 1001 list but the thought of jeopardizing my knee was not too alluring so yesterday I bought a Powerball ticket, as the New Hampshire jackpot is over $100 million, instead crossing off number 55 instead of 14! Rather than waterski I had a great time tubing and taking photos of my brother while he was water skiing!

How did you spend Labor Day?

    Oh wow – what a beautiful place to be able to spend time! And your dress is very cute! Looks like a bundle of fun… And totally a great place to have lots of memories, and to forge many more in the future! Loved reading this post.

    That’s so fortunate that your family has property there, Lake Sunapee looks gorgeous. I’ve tried water skiing more times than I’d like to admit but I’ve never been able to make it stick. Tubing is more up my alley as well! Hope you had a great weekend 🙂

    Looks like a ton of fun! I had a backyard BBQ and went to a Garlic festival in my hometown. Great weather 🙂

    Looks like so much fun! After years of trying to water ski I finally gave up lol. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m just not meant to water ski!
