      About this trip

      Our Day INCLUDES: 


      * Guided Tour and Visit to the Cathedral of the Pines - A place of beauty and inspiration, the Cathedral is located in the rolling hills of Southwestern New Hampshire (Rindge, NH) and offers breathtaking vistas of Mount Monadnock. It is an enduring memorial to patriotic service and sacrifice where each of us can personally experience  the presence of the Divine - each in her own way.  Along with the natural and serene beauty of the Cathedral grounds, visitors will find many unique stone shrines, altars and gardens.


      *  Luncheon at the Woodbound Inn - Historical, peaceful, and beautiful, the Woodbound Inn is rich in New England charm.   The original farmhouse building dates back to 1820 when it was built to house the Philbricks’ family of 20 people.  Today the Inn is family owned and operated serving locally sourced, delectable cuisine.  Lunching on Fine Food in a Special Setting -- What could be better?


      *  A Visit to Smith’s Country Cheese - A New England tradition producing outstanding cheeses of all kinds, Smith’s is located in a picturesque spot in the hills of Winchendon, MA.  We’ll enjoy a short informational video of the cheese-making process along with a cheese tasting.  There is a retail store and gift shop on the premises.

      It was a good time. The band was good. The food was good. Service was fantastic. Priced a little on the high-end, but I can see how it is an experience for older customers. We didn't take the bus and just met someone there and it was $95 per person. The sound guy was awesome and made the band sound good, even in a multi-level room.

      All went well, comfortable travel, friendly people and wonderful show! I was a bit disappointed with my meal though. Wish it could have been served in courses instead of all @once on one plate. The chowder beforehand was perfect though. But I had a skinny lobster, very dark red as compared to other cooked ones, and the meat was tough. It seemed like a previously cooked one kept and reheated again to serve, only mine was pretty cool. And blueberry cake was dry and think not what we paid for, especially @ the ocean. But our trip as a whole was a great day. Thank you!

      We are we arrive late because bus was an hour and 10 minutes late and the show had already Begun. The other guest who had Arrived on time received lays and headband appropriate to the event. The bus was filthy dirty and many of the seat belts were broken. The food at Foster was good and served well. The blueberry cake was terrible. The band was OK but too loud. I won’t do another best of times event overall unsatisfactory

      The band was good, but WAY TOO LOUD. And that ’s not just me - my iphone vibrated and said that the noise in the room was over 90 decibels and that I shouldn’t stay in the room for more that 30 minutes or I could injure my hearing. My phone told me that twice! Foster’s was a nice venue, but not good acoustics. I would have enjoyed the music much more if it were not at ear splitting levels. The lobster meal was very good. The bus driver was very good, but the bus was not. There was no cup holder or seat back pouch to put water bottles or a book or sweater in. Nothing at all on the seat back, so we had to hold our water bottle in our hands for 3 hours. Also the air conditioning was on but the vents overhead were not adjustable, so we had too cold air blowing on us for the 3 hours up and back.
