The New Hampshire Dream Vacation

Sometimes, life is not fair.

The New Hampshire Division of Travel and Tourism Development is sponsoring a photo contest, which is almost too good to be true: just submit a photo between May 24 and September 6, 2010, taken in New Hampshire, of one or more persons along with a contest sign reading “I love it here!” to be eligible to win a $2500 Grand Prize New Hampshire vacation package.  The problem is, we have no plans or opportunity to visit the Granite State between now and September 6th.

My heart is heavy with disappointment.  Edith and I simply love our trips to New Hampshire, whether is is skiing in the winter, visiting Storyland in the summer, or hanging out in North Conway in the fall, we’ve spent a lot of time up there, and would relocate there if an opportunity would present itself.  I’m not even so much disappointed about not being able to win the vacation; I just want to go visit there and take our pictures with the “I love it here!” sign.
