It’s time to check out Bartlett, New Hampshire. This was the actual location where I stayed when I went to New Hampshire. It’s where my Airbnb was located. Bartlett, New Hampshire Sights Bartlett, New Hampshire is small. That’s the best way I can describe it. But it’s cute and there are a lot of little charming places to visit on the way to North Conway, which is the bigger town. One stop that was really close to my Airbnb was…
Olde Mistick Village was the place to be on a mild September day. It was on the heels of our New Hampshire trip that we decided to take a detour over to Mystic, Connecticut. We were so glad we did. I would describe it as a miniature version of a New England town filled with cute little quaint shops. Each of them was more interesting than the next. Just the architecture of the houses that housed the shops alone, was…

Zeb’s is not the only thing to check out in North Conway. Plenty of other destinations await you! Settler’s Green Outlets One of the first places I stopped by was the Settler’s Green outlet mall in North Conway. Below I’m standing in front of the “Welcome to North Conway” sign. That wall belongs to one of the outlet buildings. It’s your standard, typical outlet mall. However they did have a nice cupcake shop which included bacon cupcakes. It’s called White…
Today we’re touring Zeb’s General Store. It’s located on Route 16 in North Conway, New Hampshire. (I said we’d leave Connecticut didn’t I?) From the moment you walk through the door you’re greeted with so many unique items. Whether it’s barbecue sauce, hot sauce or any other sauce. Zeb’s General Store has you covered. There were so many food items on the first floor. There was also a candy counter. Supposedly it’s the longest candy counter in the world. Check…

We’re continuing to check out local spots and this brewery is up next. I visited Two Roads Brewing Company in Stratford, Connecticut and took a self-guided tour. Two buildings make up the brewery. There’s the first building that is the original building. Area Two-Experimental Brewing is housed in the second one. That is their experimental lab. It’s where they make small batches and do product development, creating one-of-a-kind brews. Both buildings have tasting rooms. Area Two We started off in…
