What's Up Wednesday- Vacation!

So we went to Philly, DC and Baltimore this summer...all by car.  We took two days to drive to Philly to my parents house.  We got there on a Monday evening, had a nice supper and unpacked.

On Tuesday, we were ready to go to Hershey Park! The weather wasn't going to be awful and L was ready to ride the rides.

She's a Twizzler! That meant she could go on all of the rides.  She was so excited!

Jeff and I took turns riding rides with her.  He hates spinning rides and wood roller coasters.  I can't do upside down rides.  Even Grandpa Ed went on a couple rides with her!



On Wednesday, we headed to DC.  We got our hotel room and then headed to watch the Dodgers play the Nationals.  The park was nice but nothing fancy.  Unfortunately, the Dodgers lost.


On Thursday,  we took a trolley around DC.  We saw various monuments.  We  walked outside of the White House.  We went to the Air and Space museum which was very cool. 


We saw the Washing monument

And went up to the Lincoln monument.  This is my favorite monument.  L had a great time despite the heat (it was 90+ outside)


Later that night, we headed to Chinatown and had the best meal ever!! It was fantastic.  We walked around Chinatown for a little while after supper.


Friday, we headed to the Newseum via the subway.  We took the subway everywhere since it was two blocks from the hotel.  The Newseum was cool for the first hour.  L got to do several video type activities.  Then the power went out so we looked at the exhibits before leaving.

In the evening we watched the Baltimore Orioles play the Indians.  Nice stadium!


We finished the trip with a visit to King of Prussia mall, Pat's cheesesteaks, Trader Joe's and Five Below and berry picking.  We had a fantastic time but I was exhausted when we got home!! We were going all the time!
