If you are a long-time reader of this blog, you know that I am a huge fan of Portland, Maine. I try to go up there several times a year because there are so many great little restaurants and shops. Whenever I mention my trips to Portland, people always ask me if I've ever checked out Portsmouth, New Hampshire before. I'm sure that I've been there when I was younger but I've sadly never taken the day trip there....until this past weekend.
A group of us (
Bianca,
Bridget,
Elina,
Elizabeth,
Emily,
Jen,
Kristen,
Megan, and
Meghan) took a day trip up to the Portsmouth area on Saturday. We started out at
Redhook Brewery, where we indulged in beers and appetizers for lunch at Cataqua Public House.

 |
| Hummus Platter |

After lunch, we took the Redhook Brewery tour. Our tour guide was hysterical and this short tour was a lot of fun.
After purchasing some six-packs to take home, we then headed into downtown Portsmouth where we wandered around downtown.

We browsed in shops, took lots of photos, and had a relaxing time catching up with each other. It was a perfect way to work up an appetite for our dinner at
Black Trumpet Bistro (blog post to come)!
I can't believe that I've never visited Portsmouth before but I'm definitely going to make a return trip during the spring to check out some more shops and restaurants.
How did you spend your weekend?
