Trip to Pennsylvania
Our trip to Pennsylvania was an eye opener for Ryan and me (it's hard to travel with a toddler), but looking back it was worth it to spend all that time together. Audrey seems to be learning so much lately, neither one of us want to miss it.
We started in Philadelphia. This is Audrey meeting James Madison at the Constitution Center. She had to touch all the eyes, noses, and ears (a new favorite activity) of the signers of the Constitution.
This is Audrey in the Sacred Grove in Palmyra, New York. Although I don't condone the fact that she picked this dandy lion, I had to take this picture. What a blessing to be in the trees where Joseph Smith spoke to our Heavenly Father and our Savior.
Our next stop was Niagara Falls. We splurged and stayed in a beautiful "falls view" room at the Marriott in Canada. It was so amazing. We spent so much time in our room just watching out the window.
Everywhere we went Audrey had to chase the birds, seagulls, pigeons, and ducks (to Audrey they are all ducks and they all say 'quack quack quack'). She would never get bored with this activity. Imagine being at Niagara Falls and spending so much time chasing seagulls!
We added two stadiums to our goal of going to every MLB stadium. We saw the Giants play the Phillies and the Pirates. When we first got in to the Pirates' stadium they had this tiny baseball park for the kids to run the bases. Audrey was so excited.
The Pirates game was the night before we flew home. After seven days of traveling, Audrey was looking pretty tired.
