PORTSMOUTH

We headed toward the Atlantic Ocean on a little road trip to Portsmouth, NH. I had to take Hugs because she loves long rides!

We walked the streets and I sat on them, too.

Because Daddy can’t leave a small town without visiting their bookstore, we ended up in RiverRun Bookstore where I found a cool map of Portsmouth.

LAUNCHING THE KAYAK

Today we walked down through the forest to the edge of Grandma and Grandpa’s property, where a kayak was waiting for us.

I was all outfitted and ready to go!

First I went with Mommy…

…then with Daddy. I helped both of them paddle.

When we were finished kayaking, I helped Grandma make brownies. My job was to stir the batter 50 times!

CROSSING THE CONNECTICUT RIVER

We crossed over to Vermont to visit the Montshire Museum of Science on a rainy day.

My favorite things there were the spinning table…

…a ball floating on a gust of air…

…and the elevator, of course.

Then we headed back to New Hampshire to visit Left Bank Books, just as we do every year. My favorite part was the stairs.

LAZY NEW HAMPSHIRE DAY

You know there’s nothing I love more than a lazy day. And I got to have one on our first full day in New Hampshire.

(Actually, first I got to drop pins with Daddy! That’s when I pick a spot on Google Maps and Daddy drives there. Then we do it again. And again… It’s my favorite game.)

But the rest of the day was lazy! First, I checked out the “Harry Potter room” upstairs.

Then I drove my car around the house quite a bit.

And then outside later to admire Grandma’s deck garden.

SEE YA NEXT YEAR, NEW HAMPSHIRE

Yesterday was our last day in New Hampshire before we set off for New York.

My favorite part of the day was flying the gliders Grandpa got me!

We also went to King Arthur Flour where I turned wheat berries into flour. That was also super fun. I now want a mill.

Then we went to a bookstore that had a cool little tiny house outside. I had fun, New Hampshire!

KAYAKING

On my first full day in Grantham, I went kayaking for the first time! We packed the sand bucket, monster truck, and toy boat for the beach, but once I got in the kayak, it’s all I wanted to do.

We also went out to eat a couple of times. This is me and Uncle Mike during breakfast.

And here’s me and Grandma relaxing before dinner.

GOODBYE, NEW HAMPSHIRE

Right before we left for home, we got to quickly see Cousins Beth and Allie, who had just arrived in New Hampshire the night before! And then we headed off to Logan International Airport to make our way home.

Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, for a fun trip!

Goodbye, New Hampshire
