Our Summer Vacation





I am happy to report we are still alive! All this vacationing is exhausting. Liberty is thee best traveler around. We planned to vacation with my dad this summer in Pennsylvania to visit his side of the family. Since they had not met Miss Liberty yet we were all excited. As the alarm sounded at 3am we started to have second thoughts. Liberty was awesome woke up fine, made it through security thanks to helpful advice from everyone. She had hotcakes and milk for breakfast, and slept every flight we had. We had a nice visit in Chicago while changing planes. The weather there was GREAT. PERFECT, no humidity!! Low 80's we all loved it. Our first day was settling in and visiting with family. We visited the Philadelphia Zoo where my cousin J works, we didn't get to see him because they were getting ready to move the elephants and he was heading that project up. Liberty loved the petting zoo, we always miss that part of our zoo back home so she was thrilled. We spent another day at Seaside Heights Shore in Jersey. Family traditions of playing games on the boardwalk and buying salt water taffy. The highlight of the vacation was Sesame Place. Where we got to meet ELMO and Super Grover, Big Bird, Bert and Ernie. It was FUN. and Liberty Loved it. She was only big enough to ride the carousel but she had a ball, lots of squels and clapping. It was great. Seeing and spending time with my dad was a gift in it self. I forget how much I miss him and I don't care how old I get I will always cry when he leaves. We planned our flight together so we could hang out at the airport which was nice. Now that we are home it't time to pack again for a road trip. Were leaving for Searcy, Ak on Sunday to visit some of Derek's friends.
