Ice Cream Cone and Peter Pan

So perhaps it may be a little chilly today on the coast, but Portsmouth is still busy with people having fun and eating ice cream. Summer will be here soon enough! Prescott Park is performing Peter Pan at their outdoor stage, which runs from June 25 through August 22. These shows are always fun for everyone, so bring a blanket to sit on, grab something to eat and enjoy a little theater under the stars when it get a little warmer.

Sail over to the Portsmouth Sustainability Fair

If you are interested in swapping some of your old clothes for some "new ones", come over the Portsmouth Library today! Bring a bag of clothes and you can leave with one filled with new stuff! It is part of the sustainability fair happening over at the Portsmouth Middle School today. http://portsmouthsustainabilityfair.org/

Rainy and grey outside, perfect weather for a bowl of latte downtown while sitting in the window people watching after the fair!

Tourism Conference

With all the excitement in downtown Portsmouth yesterday, you may not have realized that the NH Council for Tourism is holding their annual conference here in our lovely city. Hopefully they did think yesterday was a good representation of a typical day here on the NH seacoast, usually we don't have a tank and FBI rolling into town. These professionals will be dining out and sightseeing around town. The theme for this years conference is, "Think like a visitor, act like a host".

Have a lovely day, it is beautiful and sunny and Friday!

Romantic Dining

The Black Trumpet on Ceres Street is such a romantic place to dine. They have an amazing menu that changes with the seasons and an ambience that is quite charming.

Cool at the Beach

Saw this character yesterday afternoon at the beach....like the hat. Shortly after this shot, thunderclouds and spring lightning.

Love

Welcome Lovelies!

I am a huge fan of the seacoast of New Hampshire and Maine, and Portsmouth is our city. There are endless things to do here, and I will hopefully provide you some insight into the delightful area, I am certain you will love it too! Theatre, Fashion, Street Style, Art, Music and Dining...this is a wonderfully fabulous place to be.
