February 2021: Winter Vacation in NH: Day 5

Day 5: Thursday February 25, 2021

Thanks to the late evening I actually slept until 5:30 this morning! Go me! I facebooked, watched my guilty pleasure show Outdaughtered, and eventually got ready for the day. Thankfully, as I was getting ready, Nick woke up, and we could hear that his parents were awake downstairs, so he got ready too, and we headed downstairs to get moving towards breakfast.

After hearing that the murphy bed was surprisingly comfortable, we headed for breakfast. Knowing that we would be eating really good (and kinda terrible for us) food, we walked the roughly 8 minute walk to Peach’s.

Peach’s is a teeny restaurant with amazing food, so we weren’t really expecting to be able to get in without a wait. We even had a backup plan. As it turns out, our wait was less than 10 minutes.

Breakfast here was excellent, our food arrived quickly and was delicious, and service was great. Nick and I both had apple butterscotch pancakes, John had some sort of omelette, and Kim had some sort of stuffed french toast. Everyone was VERY happy with their food.

Once we’d eaten breakfast and all but rolled ourselves out of the restaurant, we headed down the other side of the street, to check out store windows and such. And we found another “almost like being at Disney” view. 


Surprisingly, as we approached Zeb’s, there was no line, so, we made a return visit. I bought some more junk food (chocolate covered animal crackers guys!) and such. Kim bought some candy or something. And then we finished the walk back to the resort. Side note...walking into the wind in 20* weather taught us the biggest benefit of masks yet...our faces didn’t completely freeze!

We then visited for another hour or so, before Kim and John headed south around noon. They both had meetings late afternoon/early evening. Nick and I then headed back to Settler’s Green, in search of some Boston Cream cupcakes. White Mountain Cupcakes is a small place, so their flavors tend to sell out as the day goes on. Their Boston Cream are our favorites of theirs, but we were there late afternoon the day before, so they had already sold out. We wanted to see if visiting earlier would yield us some Boston Cream.

It did! We got some Boston Cream cupcakes, then visited a few stores we had missed the day before. Didn’t really buy anything, until we found the ice cream store. Since it’s not a vacation without ice cream, we got frappes (black raspberry for me and peppermint stick for Nick) from Trail’s End ice cream. I mean, it’s almost 30* outside!

We headed back to the resort where we relaxed for a bit, and then we headed to Delaney’s Hole in the Wall for dinner, about 3 minutes from the resort. This place is another one that we’ve never been to, but it’s always busy, so we figured we better try it.

When we got there, we were quoted a half hour wait, and they took my cell phone number and sent us back outside. We went back to the car and waited less than 15 minutes before the host called. We headed back in and were seated immediately.

Dinner here was delicious! I had a chicken and broccoli pasta in a parmesan cream sauce and the “lonesome lemonade” (Tito’s and Newman’s lemonade). Delicious! Nick had a lobster tortellini and some sort of Mule drink. He also really enjoyed his meal. We would eat here again, and definitely understood why Delaney’s always looks busy.


After dinner we returned to the resort and relaxed before I crashed early.
