Head to Pine Street Bakery. Ciaran loves the breakfast sammie and I love the espresso!

Ride bikes at Waterfront Park or take a walk along the Hood River Pipeline Trail that paralells the West Fork of the Hood River.

Lampoei’s Thai Kitchen is a must. Call ahead and order—this gem of a food cart gets busy.

Treat yourself and your little one to Mike’s Ice Cream. Order at the window and then head across the street and enjoy sitting on the grassy hill below the library.

The family suite at the Hood River Hotel can sleep a large family and is within walking distance of G. Willikers Toy Shoppe!

Insider Tip!
Any stops along the way should be done early—the afternoon crowds can be a little challenging to manage with kids.
