This blog shares the journals of my great-grandfather Nelson Hjalmar Lindgren (b. 14 Oct 1884 Sweden d. 3 Mar 1976 E. Prov, RI). These writings give a window into a fascinating man and give the story of a remarkable life of a first generation Swedish-American. The daily entries of Nil's journals from 50 years ago will give our family a greater connection to our past.

Tues, July 18, 1961
Up at 8.00 and shaved and Dick came over then and started out at 10.00 and went to Washington.
Saw the crowd in front of the White House so we bought some food and went to the Smithsonian Institute.
Then at Jeffersons Memorial we had lunch. There went to the Money Printing Plant. Then to Mt. Vernon and went thru that.
Evelyn was stung by a bee on her foot. Gail had a belly ache.
Stopped on our way to Annapolis and had a drink. Couldn’t find a motel.
At 9.00 we found one “The Gables.” 1422 West Street, Annapolis, Maryland. Where we got rooms. Then went to the Restaurant, and had supper, a drink first.
Then back and to bed. We had 2nd floor and Dick and family the 3d floor.
