Continuing the journey...

The Statue of Liberty
Well since I last posted (as usual), a lot has happened! We spent a week at my brother's in Nashville. Mark helped him in his house with an addition he is doing. The girls and I enjoyed spending time with Cindy and Hannah. I hate it...but I did not get any pictures of Hannah. She is such a cutie though.

We traveled with a quartet to PA, WV, MD, NJ, and NY. It was a great experience. We were able to see many things on our travels including: Philadelphia, NYC, Antietam Battle Field, Gettysburg, and Washington D.C. Some of these stops were brief but still exciting. We are thankful for the opportunity the Lord gave us to travel with those boys. We enjoyed them very much!

I am posting a few pictures from our trip but once again, I did not do such a great job at capturing all of our memories.
In Nashville, we went to a Science Museum. It was educational and fun :)
We were able to spend a day in Philadelphia. We saw the Liberty Bell and many other interesting things including the room where the Bill of Rights were signed.
We spent Saturday, Cassy's Birthday in NYC. What fun! This was a view of the city from the NJ side.
This was the Farris Wheel in Toys R' Us at Times Square. We were in the M & M Car.
Abby had saved her money from her birthday and from helping me at home. She had Molly's hair fixed at the Salon in the American Girl Store.
Cassy bought Elizabeth, from the Felicity Collection, with her birthday money. Abby bought Molly a new dress and some accessories.
The ferry ride out to Liberty Island to see the Statue of Liberty.
On our way home, we took about an hour and a half driving tour of DC. It was worth the extra drive!

We are thankful for our travels but are glad to have spent a couple of weeks at home :) There's no place like home!
