Cheering on Santa Last Night
I would first like to start by saying thank you to everyone who has supported the Mount Washington Observatory this holiday season. We appreciate everything that you do for us in making our mission achievable. Further, I would like to thank everyone for the gracious gifts that we received on the summit . All of us, including Marty, are thankful for all of them. We also got to take a spectacular picture last night as Santa passed over the summit.
Tonight to celebrate Christmas, I have been in the kitchen cooking up a dinner fit for the hardy Observers. Being from Polish heritage, I decided to cook a mostly Polish dinner to include perogies, babka bread, and other side dishes. Hopefully it will be enjoyed by all.
If you would like more information on how to support Mount Washington, visit our website and learn how you can become a member of this great organization!
