On The Road With Govy: One of the longer days on the trail

This morning I left my house at 6 am for a 3 hour drive north to the Mt. Washington Hotel to pick up Mom.  My mom, her two sisters and my grandmother went there for the night for some female bonding.  I am not a morning person so the early morning drive was a rather difficult task.  I did, however, get to have a dance party by myself the whole way up.  I am sure everyone I passed thought I was a full tank of crazy to be dancing like a mad woman that early but I had to stay awake!

The drive north is really beautiful — so many trees, mountains, and rivers.  It was hard to pay attention to the road because I just wanted to look around.  The pictures are from my cell camera that I took on the drive.  The hotel itself is an old grand hotel that looks like something out of a fairy tale.  I picked my mom up at 9 am and we officially started our campaign day in the North Country.  We stopped at a gas station and talked about the problem of high gas prices at a diner in Littleton and a restaurant in Plymouth called 6 Burner Bistro (really good food).  Finally, we had a scheduling meeting and a house party in Gilford.  We got home close to 9…one of the longer trail days!

Oh yes, I almost forgot, we picked up a camera crew from PBS at the gas station in Littleton who are making a documentary on women in politics and they spent most of the day with us.  The documentary airs Sept. 19th.  Check it out!
