phase 2 - summit

We traveled up Mt. Washington via the Cog railroad. It was a really unique way to experience a summit. The railroad used to be powered by a coal engine and is a pretty spectacular engineering feat.
C & C on the way up.
The view of Mt. Washington and the railroad tracks.
Evidently the top of Mt. Washington is home to the worst weather in the world. So glad we didn't experience anything like the world record holding wind gust of 231 mph!


Post knee surgery Susie couldn't resist making it to the top. Way to go!



Caris' first summit at age 4 months. 6,288 feet! She LOVED it up there. She was she happy, squealing and cooing and taking everything in. Can't wait to take our first hike!
