         Hampton Beach New Hampshire - Seafood Festival!!

Living in New Hampshire, and New England in general, affords those of us fortunate enough to call this part of the country home countless places to indulge in some of the finest seafood in the world. 

And once a year, you get to meander from food booth to food booth dining on every kind of local seafood all in one place!  How cool is that?!?!?!?

Hampton Beach NH has a yearly Seafood Festival, and it's a opportunity to fill ourselves full of all kinds of fabulous food from over 50 local area restaurants.  Talk about yummy - every single morsel I indulged in was absolutely scrumptious!

I must admit, in all the years I've lived here in Portsmouth NH, I have never been down to the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival until this year.  And now I know what I've been missing all these years! 

This is the 19th Annual Seafood Festival, and it just keeps getting better and better from what I can heaing.  It's so good and such a great family event that it has been named "One of the Top 100 Events in America" for a number of years.  And now that I've been myself, I can see why the festival continues to receive that recognition!

I went on opening day with 3 good friends, and we had a great time trying as much seafood as we could.  Some of what we sampled, and loved, were lobster rolls, fried clams, sauteed lobster tails on a stick, grilled shrimp on a stick, grilled swordfish on a stick, fried onion rings, coconut shrimp, steamed lobster and corn-on-the-cob, chowder, ice cream, and some beverages of course.   The really great thing about this festival is that you can dine on all this great seafood at less than half the price you'd have to pay if you ate in the restaurants that have the food booths.  It doesn't get any better than that, that's for sure! 

In addition to the yummiest seafood you can imagine, there's also a variety of bands playing throughout the weekend, arts and crafts booths, and fireworks, as well as great sidewalk sales in front of all the shops along the Hampton Beach Boardwalk area.


Not a seafood lover?  Not to worry, you can also find chicken, hot dogs, chinese food, ribs, and other food not from the sea.  That all looked delicious as well.

Be sure to check out the fun video on the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival.
  It was great fun and I am definitely going to make sure I go next year!

For those of us who live here in the NH Seacoast area, we get all kinds of great fun events like this to take part in all year long.  Just one of the many perks and benefits of calling this great area HOME!!

Have you been dreaming of living by the ocean?  Hampton Beach NH has been named one of the top 3 cleanest beaches in America.  Watch this video by MSNBC --->  America's Beaches - Hampton Beach awarded FIVE stars for being the cleanest in the country!

                     Portsmouth NH - A Sunday Morning View

Portsmouth New Hampshire is such an awesome town to live in, and to visit as well.  We have all kinds of things to do here for everyone and we're a beautiful port city full of history.  Portsmouth was settled in 1623 after all, so it would be natural to have living history all around us here, and we do.

Our neighborhoods are full of beautiful homes, both old and new, many with wonderful welcoming porches, and sidewalks to take you wherever you want.  Beautiful old trees line many of our streets, friendly greetings from residents, bright and colorful gardens everywhere you look - a fabulous place to call home.

This morning I decided to go for an early morning walk.  The air was crisp and dry, the sun was shining, and walking daily is something I'd been telling myself to start doing for a long time now.  Today, I did just that.          

I walked along Sagamore Avenue, Broad Street, Merrimac Street, Miller Avenue, Middle Street, Court Street, Rogers Street, Richards Avenue, South Street, and various other Little Harbor neighboring streets.  As I was walking along these streets, I got wonderful glimpses of lots of beautiful pocket gardens that you just can't see from the car. 

I saw homes with a different perspective than I've had all this time when driving by them.  Beautiful old New Englanders, Colonials, Victorians, Capes, and more - all with a history behind each one of them.  I even walked past the only on-going 'farm' in Portsmouth.

Having taken this walk this morning, I realize there's so much more to this wonderful town I call home.  You just don't see from a car what you can see on foot.  If you haven't walked around your own town or neighborhood in awhile, get out and take a walk.  You'll be surprised at the sights you'll see and enjoy that you've been missing all this time.

What a wonderful town Portsmouth is, and how fortunate I am to be able to live here and call the "Port City" of Portsmouth New Hampshire home. 

I love living here, and if you're interested in making Portsmouth your new home, I'd love to show off all her attributes and to help you find your special home here.  You'll love it here as much as I do!

Come to visit - come to STAY because you'll want to make Portsmouth New Hampshire YOUR home!  

Once you're here, this area just makes you fall in love with it, and this just helps to make my job that much more enjoyable!
