About Mt. Washington Hotel

In 2001, my boyfriend (now my husband) took me to the White Mountains for the first time. I was blown away that a place so remote and stunning could be located a mere three hours from the big city of Boston. In 2004, we visited together again, with my sister and dad, renting a condo for a few days in July. We made the ascent to Mt. Washington (in a vehicle!) and later, lunched at the stunning and timeless Mt. Washington Hotel. We were hooked. Several months later, we bought our own condo, and a few years later, I painted a whimsical version of the Mt. Washington Hotel, which now adorns its walls.
