Growing Up in the White Mountains
Franconia, New Hampshire...
This is the place I have spent all 18 years of my life. I have loved living here most of the time, especially when I was younger and as I get older I keep getting less fond of it. My childhood was filled with skiing, swimming, hiking, and biking and all of my friends lived less than 5 minutes away from me. I loved how I could ride my bike down to town without an adult, I loved how I could ski at cannon without an adult and I loved how everyone knew my name and my dads restaurant. As I entered high school I started to like it less and less. I still thought it was a beautiful place to live with gorgeous views but as of things to do for fun besides outdoor activities they were very slim. At my age and living here your whole life you have been to the 99 so many times that you dont even need to look at the menu to see what they have. You go to Dunkin Donuts on the daily because thats the only kind of good coffee, and you attend movies at Jax Junior all the time that you end up knowing all employees. You also end up graduating high school with some of the same people you went to pre- school with.
So living in the white mountain's hasn't been the worst. I have loved my experience here and as I venture off to college outside New Hampshire I will always remember Franconia, the place that shaped me into the person I am.
