We recently got back from a super great week in Pennsylvania to visit Jacob's sister and her family. The road trip was the first of many adventures, and I must say I was proud of our little travelers. They did great on the 11+ hour drive. I think the DVD player, GPS, and mini van had a little something to do with it as well as their sweet laid-back personalities! We arrived to snow that evening, which made it all the more real to be in the north.
We had such a good time that week...seeing their lives in PA...their church, their quaint little town, their friends,their school. I had good quality time with my sweet SIL - we had a girl date - coffee and shopping at Kohl's until almost midnight - call us crazy - while the boys stayed home and perfecting their tennis game on Wii. We ventured into Philly one day to see Independence Hall, the LOVE sign and Reading Terminal. We went to the botanical gardens that had a fabulous light show set up for Christmas. We even had a double date night and left all five children at home - so nice to have a dinner without wiping hands and refilling milk!
It was so nice to spend quality, relaxed time together. It was also great to see Charles and his cousins play together - made me excited to think of all the years ahead with all the grandchildren. It was so fun cooking, napping, and just spending time together before the madness of the holidays. We could not have asked for a better vacation week - thank you Erin and Chris for letting us visit!
