Family Vacation

We had a great road trip to Pennsylvania.  It was a long trip - a car trip that used to take Tim and I 10 hours now takes 14 hours with two kids.  Both of the kids did great.  Alex has been on lots of road trips across the country but this was Amelia's first big trip and she did great!

At our stop for breakfast.  Amelia enjoyed being out of her carseat for a while even though she slept most of the trip thus far.

We has so much fun visiting family and lots of fun visiting new places. One of the favorite places that we stopped was Longwood Botanical Gardens.  It was a beautiful day and lots of beautiful flowers to look at.  One of the favorite parts for the kids was the fountain garden where they could play in the water.

Alex's favorite place that we went was an amusement park.  This was his first time ever going to one and it was very exciting.  We did not know what to expect with him but he loved it and enjoyed riding all of the rides.

Alex and I riding the helicopters.

This is a giant slide inside a silo made to look like a rocket.  This was one of Alex's favorite rides!  After Alex and I rode down it together on the burlap sack, he wanted to do it by himself the next time.  He said that he wanted to go fast next time!

It was nice to have new adventures as a family!  We had so much fun and now we cannot wait until we get to do it again.  Family vacations are the best!
