Cousin Amy and John took the bus all the way to New York City to see us all while we were in town. I got another ride on the subway!
When Mommy and Daddy lived in New York, midtown Manhattan on the Hudson River was a whole bunch of nothing. Now it’s a HUGE area with parks, malls, art, and activities. It’s called Hudson Yards and we had a great time hanging out with Amy and John there.
Uncle Mike and Aunt Sarah had a wedding reception in Yonkers, NY. I got there early and got to run around the place.
I sat by Daddy’s old friend Seth and Seth’s dad. They brought me stamps and Mad Libs to play with!
Afterward, we got to ride the Metro North and NYC subway back to our hotel. I love New York mass transit!
When we visit Grandma and Grandpa, we always go to the Four Aces Diner. I like the yogurt with King Arthur Flour granola and real Vermont maple syrup.
Later, Grandpa and I went fishing on Eastman Lake. I caught a lot of algae!
The North Haverhill Fair was going on while we were in New Hampshire. So, of course, we had to go so I could get another credit!
This turned out to be the worst roller coaster I’ve ever ridden. See that cord behind me? This coaster was literally plugged in to the train the whole time. (But it’s a credit!)
Grandma is not much of a roller coaster fan, so she just accompanied me us.
Mommy and I went on a swing ride, and it was pretty nauseating.
But a fair is a fair, and I still had an awesome time!
Every time we go to New Hampshire, we need to make sure we go kayaking! This time, we used the inflatable kayak, which is cool, because all three of us can go at the same time.
Grandma and Grandpa left late last night. And Uncle Mike and Aunt Sarah left today. But before they went, we had breakfast with them at Banning’s Restaurant & Pie House. Thanks for visiting, everyone!
Grandpa gave me a new bug catcher. So he, Uncle Mike, and Aunt Sarah went to the park with us as I looked for bugs.
Grandma and Grandpa visited Portland, so, of course, we went to St. Honoré! As new Oregon residents, Nana and Papa came, too.
The next day, we showed Grandma and Grandpa the Bob’s Red Mill store and I found Bob.
We flew across the country for our annual trip to New Hampshire to visit Grandma and Grandpa!
After some rest from our red eye flight, we visited Grandpa’s HAM radio club and I got to learn a little bit about how it works.
I waded in Eastman Lake while Grandpa and Daddy drove the boat.
And, oh look! I convinced everyone to go to Six Flags New England, where I got four new coaster credits! I also met another coaster enthusiast in line for Thunderbolt, and it was really fun to talk to him.
There was a cool train track in Vermont.
Of course, I had my annual trip to a bookstore where I relaxed on the stairs. In fact, we went to two bookstores this year where I relaxed on the stairs!
We went out for pizza one night by the Contoocook River and walked over this cool covered bridge.
Would you like to watch a video of my adventures? Here you go!
It was light out as we caught the Dartmouth Coach at the bus station, and dark by the time we were in the air over Boston.
Thanks for having us, Grandma and Grandpa!
