What should I do?

Ron what are the sprint cup races?

The Sprint car races are held this weekend at New Hampshire International Raceway. It is NASCAR racing & there are races Fri, Sat, & the big race Sunday

Most definitely... they seem to pop up after 11pm to 3 in the am.

Best seen of course on a dark & clear night. look low to the horizon.. the Aurora Borealis is something to see.

We are so lucky here... ( no light pollution etc.)

Sandwich Creamery is a must... honor system ??? Unbelievable !!

so NH !!!

Instead of going to Clark's and watching Bears embarrass themselves, go to the Squam Lake Natural Science Center. At least you can see animals in more of a native and dignified atmosphere. It's a good walk and healthy exercise.

And why stop at just one ice cream place. There are multiple spots around the lake. I would try each one. My car always seems to have a steering problem when one comes into view. I really need to get my car looked at. And it is starting to lean to the left for some reason too....

Take the train in Meridith, Ride the Mount, mini golf at Pirates Cove. (We went last night. No one there on a Tuesday afternoon had the place pretty much to ourselves....)

If you like movies, find an IMAX theater and go see Toy Story 3 in 3D. We saw it the other night and it was incredible. Amazing effects and a good story as well. There were plenty of other adults when we went.

Sorry Chip but that would have to be a worse case option due to terrible weather. You can see a movie anywhere. When at the lake, do lake things.

If hiking is what you want, you are right near Bald Knob, a short, fairly steep but great view out to the lake and Mt Shaw

Or go further north to Mt Chocorua

Mt Major is a great view from the other side of the lake as pointed out previously - can be real busy.

As my kids got older, we always made at least one trip to the drive-in at the weirs (sometimes 2). Would walk through downtown, get some pizza, and head on over around 8:30. The kids would bring their chairs and a pocket radio in case we had different tastes for the second movie.

Even an adult would enjoy the Polar Caves in Plymouth, The Flume in Lincoln and even Lost River!! You can go to http://www.visitwhitemountains.com/t...tion-pass.aspx

and get an attraction pass which allows you entry into 16 of the White Mountain attractions! It's a great deal but if you're only staying 2 weeks then at least check out the site and get an idea of what is available for a short drive away!!

Well on a 2-week visit, I would think that there is a chance of at least 1 terrible weather day. Doesn't everyone go to the movies when it rains, especially when on vacation?

At the Alton Mini Golf they have an ice cream parlor. The Ice Cream is just great, and the price is very low. I had half of a kiddie cup and it was more than enough. But first go to sibleys next door and have a whole clam role, they are the best in the region I think. (I like Sandy Point, but these are better, and not as expensive) Johnsons is also a nice place to go, Have a great vacation. I will have mine the end of July, but till then its just Fri am to mon pm.

Why not consider one of the great local theatres instead?!?!
