Summer Travel 2015

What a great trip to the east coast we had this summer!

First stop, Philadelphia!  The kids had a ball with Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop. Our big outing was a trip to Hershey Park. We had so much fun! The kids loved going on rides, especially Anna, our daredevil. She worked her way up the roller coaster thrill level and ended up going on an upside down coaster - twice! (Good thing Brian is a willing companion - because Karen was not!) The kids also loved the water park and had tons of fun going down water slides. The kids loved Chocolate World, especially the chocolate tasting and "4-D" movie. In addition to that trip, we went bowling, sailing, and swimming in the backyard.  Colin got to take Pop-Pop out for his Father's Day gift - a trip to the Phillies game! Colin even got to run the bases after the game. Anna took Mom-Mom to see the movie Inside Out, which she loved.

Next we boarded a train to make our way towards North Carolina! Grandma picked us up in Virginia and brought us to her house in Kitty Hawk. We immediately put the jet skis in the water and had a blast riding around in the sound. (Truth be told, Colin was a bit iffy in regards to the jet skis. He preferred kayaking with Grandma!) We went kite flying at Jockey's Ridge and sightseeing at the Wright Brother's Memorial. When I told Anna I'd been to the Wright Brother's Memorial as a child with my family, she asked, "Had the planes flown there yet?"Yeesh! We enjoyed several lovely mornings at the beach and Brian and Karen especially enjoyed the warm Atlantic Ocean. The kids seemed more impressed by the soft sand and its dribble castle possibilities. Probably the highlight of the trip for the kids was going to a nearby restaurant to shell and eat crabs - they loved it!



Our kids are lucky to have such great grandparents. We all had a blast! Click below to see the rest of our adventures!
