Travelogue: Trip to the East Coast USA for Fall Foliage - Day 3 in Vermont

We started Day 3 of our East Coast Road trip leaving our overnight stop at North Conway and headed towards the White Mountain National Park. Originally, we had wanted to hear to Mount Washington and Crawford Notch National Park. However, earlier in the month, the area was hit by Hurricane Irene which resulted in storm damage. Thus some roads were closed, and we ended up going to the White Mountain Area heading towards Vermont. The autumn foliage scenery along the way was spectacular. The colours of the trees ranged from light yellow to deep orange. Truly breathtaking.

Travelogue: Dogsledding in Tromso, Norway

We had five days in Tromso, one of which we went to the Polar Zoo. Check out the blog entry. And another day, we went to do dog sledding. It is a great winter activity that you cannot miss when you are in a winter wonderland. Despite the high costs, it would be a wasted trip if we didn't go on it.

Eating out: Our wedding anniversary lunch out at Laurent Bernard's at Portsdown Road

It was our 11th Wedding Anniversary weekend. After watching the Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo on saturday, we decided to treat ourselves to a nice lunch out. The hubby being French, of course missed French food. After reading on some of the popular food blogs, Laurent Bernard at Portsdown have a good french menu, so we went down today for lunch. Check out of the photos of the place from their restaurant's blog.
