65th Anniversary of the Monetary Conference at Bretton Woods, NH
Yesterday marked the 65th anniversary of the United Nations Monetary & Financial Conference which set the groundwork for international monetary cooperation. This historic event attended by 730 delegates from 44 nations, was held at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. The Resort was reportedly selected because its remote location offered seclusion and security was easily managed. Certainly the spectacular setting must have sealed the choice. It is hard to imagine the magnitude of such an event right in my own backyard! Not much has changed in 65 years. Today we still enjoy the same seclusion, security and breathtaking backdrop of Mount Washington, and the natural beauty of this area.
The Hotel is offering some unique specials to help commemorate the dat... 16
Ripley Falls Trail in Crawford Notch State Park

The sign indicates that Ripley Falls is a 20 minute hike one way and just about a half mile in length. The time frame is fairly conservative for hiking non-stop, but a good gauge... 30
The Spa at the Mount Washington Resort, Bretton Woods NH
I have been meaning to get over to the new Resort Spa, which opened in November, for some time now. My husband had given me a gift certificate to enjoy a treatment, but it was one of those things that I just hadn't found the time for. It was my daughter's 19th birthday and I decided a day at the spa would be a perfect gift – one that we both could enjoy! We arrived, as requested, a half hour before our treatments. We were greeted at the reception desk and were escorted back to the Ladies Lounge. We signed in and then were given a tour of the facilities available to us including locker and changing areas, showers, sauna & steam rooms, lounge area to relax before and after treatments and an outdoor hot tub. This spa facility is by far, the most elegant; warm & inviting, calm and relaxing spa I have ever visited. The women's lounge is absolutely beautiful - warmed with soothing s...
