Not our name, but our passion
This small bakery located in Sandown, New Hampshire on NH Route 121A sells macaroons of several types.
White Oak Farms started baking macaroons in their farm kitchen in 1974. These are not the typical coconut macaroons you will find at the supermarket but are in fact slightly chewy items made with whipped egg whites.
The Wason Pond Conservation and Recreation Area in Chester is a multi-use park ideal for family outing. The park contains a covered bridge, several swimming holes, a community center, a short trail, a playground and a large field where you may find charity yard sales occasionally during the summer.
The best access to the covered bridge and trail is from the Community Center parking area.
The trail suitable for mountain bikes and hikers leads to a swimming hole with a Tarzan swing. Take note of the flora along the trail.
Next to the center in the opposite direction is a large playground for the little ones.
Further on is the second entrance to the park and another parking area with the main swimming area.
If in the Raymond/Chester area be sure to spend a nice afternoon at the park.
The Chester Covered Bridge in Chester, New Hampshire is the newest covered bridge in New Hampshire. The pedestrian bridge was built in 2011 and is located off NH Route 102 adjacent to the Wason Pond Community Center.
You can park in the lot next to the community center and take the short trail down to Wason Pond and the bridge itself. The trail continues through the bridge and around the pond. A nice short walk with views of the bridge and pond.
The trail past the bridge continues to a rope swing and nice swimming hole.
The Conner Farm Wildlife Management Area in Exeter is a small former farmstead now open to the public.
The 235 acre site is a combination of open fields and woodland. The area is stocked with pheasant for hunting and offers some nice photographic opportunities especially at sunset. The farm itself is privately owned and their privacy should be respected.
The 900 Degrees Pizzeria in Epping, New Hampshire is a nice local wood fired pizzeria offering a fine selection of pies in many varieties. They have a selection of pizzas and other Italian food options on their menu.
The restaurant has a large dining area and an attached bar section.
We started with appetizers. The meatballs were fairly pedestrian but the wings were very good.
The reason you come of course is for the pizza. We have had the Margherita pizza before so we decided to try the Donatella and Cinque Formaggi tonight.
The fresh arugula on the Donatella was delicious and as Alex’s face can attest the pizza was heaven.
Finish the meal with some complimentary rock candy.
