Squam Lakes

Jamie and I are members at the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, yet we'd never been there. It's about and hour and a half north of us, near the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. We took the kids and the weather was absolutely beautiful, a little chilly, but it felt like fall and I LOVE the fall!

The place was amazing! I was very surprised at how much was there. Everything was hands-on for the kids and almost each exhibit ended with some sort of slide or tunnel, they were all related to the exhibit. The kids had so much fun and there was so much there that I even learned a thing or two.

On the way home, I got pulled over and was given a $155 ticket for speeding. The whole thing is very suspicious. Oddly enough Jamie also got a ticket. We weren't even in sight of each other, but the cop pulled out to pull me over and then proceeded to pull over at least two other cars between she and I. I didn't even know she got pulled over! It was just weird. We compared tickets later and although he dealt with her at least a half an hour after me, the ticket was written for the same time. The amount of the fine is incorrect, at least according to the fee schedule that the cop handed me. We were also supposedly both traveling at the same exact speed and he somehow got 4 people clocked on his radar going the same speed. It just seems a little fishy, so we're going to fight it.

Despite the ticket, we had a really nice day at a really nice place. I'd highly recommend this place...it is definitely worth the drive!
