First, Thank You to everyone who extended well wishes on our 27th wedding anniversary this past Friday. We enjoyed reading all the comments and appreciated all of them.
We had a very enjoyable anniversary weekend from Friday evening to Sunday morning even without venturing out of state. We ate some foods that while normally do not, except, of course, for the ice cream
Our weekend celebration started Friday evening with the Celebration of Life event for Sue's husband who passed away in 2022. We met her on our Alaska cruise last August and have stayed in contact since. We'll reconnect with her in December when she visits family in NH.

| Pop's Clam Shell, Alton Bay, NH |
On Saturday we took a road trip to Alton Bay, NH for our first and only lobster roll of this waning summer season. Our destination was Pop's Clam Shell, a road side eatery popular with tourists and locals serving local fresh seafood and summertime favorites and unlike many fast-food places, everything is made in-house. Pop's is open seasonally and will be closing shortly after Labor Day. It's been family-owned and operated for 40 years and often has three generations of family working within.

Our living room bookcase has anniversary cards on display replacing the recent birthday cards for Grenville's July birthday.
We're planning to take a short New England road trip after the upcoming U.S. Labor Day holiday. The first of several long-distance adventures will start in mid-September. These will not be auto trips, but will include planes and boats. More to come later.

Congratulations again. You celebrated well.
...Erika has featured Pop's Clam Shell and the food looks fabulous. A mighty long drive for me, but looks worth it. Now you have made be hubgry.
Your ice creams look amazing. Too bad you didn't get a window table Sunday morning, but I was wondering if you made it to the airport cafe. You definitely had a wonderful anniversary weekend, and I'm glad Dave and I could be a small part of it. It's fun to know you have more trips lined up and coming soon. Enjoy this new week. hugs-Erika
Looks like you had a great anniversary and some fun food and places! There's always so much to see and do in NH! I haven't had a lobster roll in ages. That ice cream sundae really looks yummy! Happy Anniversary again, and I hope you have some fun times in the days ahead!!
Lobster rolls and ice cream sundaes, could it get any better? I don't think so.
A wonderful weekend of good food and reconnecting with friends. I think I've only ever had one lobster roll in my life, in Palm Beach, FL.
Pop's Clam Shell looks amazing! Just the kind of place I'd pull over to photograph! (And I'd eat there too.)
Lobster rolls look delicious.
You certainly made the most of your celebration.

If you ever happen to visit NH in the summer time, Pop's is the place to go, Tom.
If you and Dave visit Nashua, NH, sometime in the future, we will introduce you to to the Midfield Cafe, just not on Monday or Tuesday as it's closed those days.
The seafood looks delicious - those seafood shacks are often the best, I think. I do love to frequent the seafood shacks along our coast and of course we have a favorite one. How fun that you met Erika and Dave.
OMG!!!!! that food, those onion rings and lobster rolls, all while i have been eating hospital food!! it sounds like the perfect celebration, happy 27th, we just celebrated 48!!!

Pop's clam shell looks so good!
Erika has talked about Pops so often, I'm glad you could go and experience. It's on my "someday" list too! What a grand anniversary celebration!
Such a beautiful way to mark 27 years--seafood, ice cream, and time with friends.
Wishing you many more joyful celebrations ahead!
