One place I have always wanted to go is New York and Washington DC. So me and my mom were talking one day and decided that it was time to take a trip back east because I have never been. So we started to plan and decided that we wanted Bethany to come with us. When she was here her and my mom planned our trip, what we were going to do each day. The plan was to fly into Louisville where we would be picked up and go to Bethany's. From Bethany's place we would drive clear to Pennsylvania. Each day there was a plan to do some driving and some sight seeing, eventually making it clear to New York City, and Washington DC. They planned a wonderful trip and the knowledge of it is what gave me a little bit of umph to finish out my summer semester successfully. We did so many wonderful things! So me, my mom, Bethany, Porter, and Liddy, loaded up the minivan and were off on a trip that I will NEVER in all my years forget. Here are some pictures of my favorite pictures from the trip.
First stop was Gettysburg. This picture of Porter is probably my favorite from the whole trip!
Next stop HERSHEY, PENNSYLVANIA!!! It even smelled like chocolate:)
We also went to valley forge.
Then we were off to New York! I loved the feel of the big city and we saw so many cool things. The funny thing was is that we would always find something and say why did we need to see this? Most of the time we just came up with the fact that it was a cool building. Central Park was one of the coolest things because you have this beautiful lush park in the mids of this giant city. My question is who was the person that thought to themselves. We need to preserve this park so these city goers can have little retreat from all of the cement, whoever it was they must have been pretty smart! We of course were true tourists and had our fair share of asking directions, and everyone was very nice to us. I think it was mostly because we had two ADORABLE kids with us so they had to be nice to us:)
After all of our adventures in the "Big Apple" We were on our way to Washington DC. this part of the trip turned out to be my favorite part. It is a wonderful city full of so much history. We went to a few of the Smithsonian museums including the Holocaust, Air and Space, and American History. We walked all around the mall and then ended our trip with Mount Vernon. I think that we tired the little children right out but they were SO good!!
Like I said before this trip was an unforgettable. I was able to strengthen my relationship with my Mom and my sister. We made so many wonderful memories and had some good laughs along the way.
