Audubon Center, Free Family Fun!

9:14 AM Reporter: Maria 0 Responses
I traveled to the Massabesic Audubon Center in Auburn, N.H. for some free fun! I took a scenic hike (about 3 miles long), that was flat and easy for beginners. Learn all about the Audubon Society and the programs they offer through their website : http://www.nhaudubon.org/


For $5 you can watch an Owl presentation.
This is where the hike begins


A bird sits upon a feeder. It is one of many you will see in the Bird Sanctuary.

I chose the yellow trail

Keep your eyes open while on the trail!

I was surprised to find this orange mushroom on the side of the trail.

A little off the path you can find this hidden beach!


I made sure to twitter my progress!


Tim is looking for fish.

End your hike at Milne Pond. Inside the pond you can see turtles! (Their are also supposed to be beavers but we couldn't see any...)

Faneuil Hall Market Place

There are a TON of enjoyable things to do in the city that don't cost any money.

One of my personal faves is watching the performers at Faneuil Hall.

I filmed a little bit of tap-dancing-gone-urban for your personal enjoyment :)

Strapped for Cash?

So am I!

... and that is when I realized that this travel blog is going to be (until I find a job anyways...) about fun places to go and things to do for free (or very little money).

Enjoy!

Tilton, NH

Tilton, New Hampshire is a VERY small town located on the Winnipesaukee River. It is infamous to the people of N.H. for two very important things: The Tilton Diner (where you can hula hoop in the parking lot while waiting for a table) and the Tanger Outlets.




Now there are several outlets in and around N.H. (I will try to visit as many as possible this summer, for you, the reader, of course.) However, what I like about the outlets in Tilton is that it doesn't get very crowded (exception, three day weekends). While some can feel overwhelming and have too many stores, Tilton only has around 40 stores, but the ones they have are good (JCrew, Banana Republic, Brooks Brothers, Tommy Hilfiger, Gap).



Also, at the outlet mall, you can see this beautiful moose painted by my friend, Michelle Blandina :)

Post-Graduation

It's been about two weeks since graduation. In that time I have made reporter and producer reels, copied everything I've ever put onto Emerson's hard drive on mini-dvs and my USB, moved out of my apartment in Cambridge, unpack and organize 22 years worth of "stuff" in my room back home, job search, and apartment search- and try to have some fun as well. Needless to say, it's been quite a busy couple weeks!

On a brighter note, with school out of the picture I actually have time to dedicate to this blog! Also, with school out of the picture the traveling journalist is actually TRAVELING! For the summer, I'm focusing on places to see in New England. Come Fall it will be a total change in scenery as I will be on the West Coast.

Best,
