First time in New England. The coast there is also rocky, very different from Southern beaches. We loved it. The rocks and cliffs were so beautiful! We would go back again in a heartbeat.

Hood Adventure Park for Skibowl...those bungee jumps, ziplines and alpine slides are great for the active set. For young ones looking for additional hands-on experiences, Rosse Posse Acres Elk Farm and Dream Ridge Stables trail rides are great. Great that you mentioned Mt.

But we appreciate the cold water beaches of the NW. We visited the beach at Cape Dissapointment near Ilwaco WA on a summer's morning. We were the only people there. A morning fog haunted the land as we walked like explorers leaving the only footprints on this isolated beach. The huge and near deafening waves pounded at the storm ravages rocks as gulls wove patterns in the fog. It was magical. It make feel wild and almost as mad as the French Lieutenant's Woman. It made me do the obligatory spin in the sand as I danced through the cold firm wet sand. Smiles. We live in Vancouver, B.C., which has warm water because of the Japan current.
