Grandpa wanted to visit the Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum in Hood River. Since I have a long history of loving cars and planes, I was happy to go!

LUDWIGS VISIT PORTLAND, DAY 1
Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Mike, and Aunt Sarah are all visiting us right now! We wandered all around Portland, going out to lunch, checking out a record store, visiting a nursery, and more.
DINING & FISHING
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!
FLYING TO NEW HAMPSHIRE
With the Pennsylvania leg of our big East Coast trip done, it was time to head from Cleveland to New Hampshire. On our layover in Philadelphia, we got to deplane outside!
Then when we landed in New Hampshire, it was only appropriate that we went to the Airport Diner. It’s a tradition!
BUG HUNTING WITH THE LUDWIG GANG
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.
GRAMPS & GRAMPS VISIT
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.
NEW HAMPSHIRE 2022
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.

SNOWMEN AND SLEDDING
On our first full day in New Hampshire, it snowed!
It was cold and slushy and I managed to stay outside for about ten minutes, but I packed a lot in. Like making tiny snowmen with Grandpa.
And sledding down Winter Hill Road. I wonder why they call it Winter Hill. Hmmmmm…
VAN’S AIRCRAFT
Grandpa was excited to find out that a kit aircraft company he likes is in Aurora, Oregon – a town close to where we live. So we went there for a visit!
It just so happened that a factory tour was about to start. After seeing a bunch of the parts in their warehouse, we got to see some of their planes.
I even got to go in the cockpit.
I liked moving the flaps on this one.
This was my favorite plane overall: the RV-10.
This was the last one. It was cool, too!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRANDPA!
Grandma and Grandpa came to visit and arrived on Grandpa’s birthday.
I was already asleep by then, but the next day, we went to Lake Oswego to look at apartments. They’re thinking about living here for part of the year!
Then they took me to a toy store in Portland called Hammer and Jacks. I got to pick out this awesome marble run.
At night, we gave Grandpa his present. I was especially excited for him to read his card because I think it’s the funniest thing ever.
