I have decided to randomly find blog topics and share my thoughts on them. I am doing this in hopes that this will turn into something more then a journal. I do not know how it will work, but here goes nothing.
"Describe a favorite vacation from your married years.."
Surprisingly, even though Shawn and I have only married since 2008 we have been able to go on a few really neat trips. We went to padre for out honeymoon. We ended up staying leaving padre and went to sea world in San Antonio. We went on a cruise for out babymoon. I would have to say that I would like to do it again, only next time not pregnant. I would have liked to not have ended up in the ER in the Bahamas. We also went to Disneyworld, which I really want to visit again, not pregnant as well. Out of these there is still one trip that Shawn and I went on together that was better then all of these, our trip to Deleware.
In august 2010, Shawn and I loaded up our then 5 month old baby and started the long journey to Deleware ..... by car. Shawn didn't want to spend the extra money on a plane ticket ( go figure). We actually really enjoyed the road trip and we could not have asked for a better baby. We made it all the way to Kentucky in one day and got the opportunity to stay at my Grandmas house. It was really a treat because I had not been up there in a really long time... and she is a amazing cook.
The next day drove the rest of the way to Deleware. Our mutual best friend, is stationed up there and we wanted to take this opportunity to go see him. He has had alot change in his life and we kind of wanted to get a chance to catch up with him. Anyways, we got to Deleware and met his new (to us) girlfriend. We got in really late so we hit the hay,
The following day we just hung out, recouped and tried to stay away from the car.
Dover is about a hour away from philadelphia, so the next day we took a day trip over there. It wasnt what I expected but we did get some great pictures. We got to eat at both "geno's" and "pat's", two famous philly cheesesteak places. We liked pats. We also got to go see the liberty bell and where the declaration of independence was signed!
The following day we took the two hour drive to have a day in D.C. and can I just say that I love that city. It is so pretty. We got to see the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington monument, the white house (from afar) and the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. It was amazing. We did have a slight problem following "TOM TOM" and ended up walking about 10 blocks in the wrong direction at the end of a very long day, But Dc was my favorite of the trip.
The next day was spent hanging out with our friends and getting to chow down on some yummy food our friends made for us.
Then all of us took at trip to none other the New York City for the weekend! It was really neat... The only downfall of the whole trip..... MY CAMERA GOT LOST WITH ALL MY PICTURES FROM THE ENTIRE WEEK ON IT! Needless to say I was not a happy camper. But we did have a great time. I can now say that I have been there and seen things like times square which is unlike any place I have been in my life. I can say now that I have seen at least in part central park, and the statue of liberty (although we missed the tour to ellis island by 3 minutes) . We saw the empire state building and the famous Swartz toy store. We had a blast and really enjoyed our visit.
Our first family vacation I have to say is my favorite vacation that I have been on in my married years to date. I would like to go back to all of the above places again as most of my pictures should be reshoot (lol) and there is some stuff that I would still like to see. All in all though, it was a great trip filled with moments I will treasure and never forget about.
