On our trip, Skype Across America, we filled up for gas in New
Hampshire. While we were waiting, we interviewed a class in Stratham.
Luckily it took awhile to fill up, so we could ask them a couple
questions about their state. Our very first question we asked them was,
“What are some superior reasons why we should drop by your
state?” They replied, “You should visit because we have spectacular
skiing resorts on Old Man Mountain. If you don’t like snow, we also
have some unique beaches on the other side of the state. The last thing
they told us for this question was that they have four seasons, witch
means that they have different weather for all seasons.
While we were there, they
gave us some facts about their state, like David Thomson explored New
Hampshire in 1523, and in 1986, Christa McAuliffe died in space because
of the Challenger accident. A space shuttle blew up in the outer
atmosphere 73 seconds after the launch. The highest peak in New
Hampshire is Mount Washington, which also holds the record wind speed
at 231 MPH. The capital of New Hampshire is Concord, but it was located
in Exeter before that.
They recommended some fun things to do while we were there. They said
Water Country water park, fishing and ice fishing in winter, playing in
lakes and other outside activities. We decided to do a little ice
fishing before we left. Can you believe that people drive their cars
out onto the lakes?!?
Since they were youngsters, we asked them what they enjoy at recess.
They responded by saying they play kickball, swing on the swings,
soccer, and in the winter, they play on the snow piles.
For
our final question, we asked what else they would want us to know about
their state. They told us that you can go across their state in less
than 3 hours and their population is only 1-2 million peeps. Did you
know Alan Shepherd, the first American in space, was from New Hampshire?
“The gas tank is full! Time to hit the road!” someone yelled. We’re off on another adventure!
