We flew into NYC on the 4th of July, how patriotic of us! We met Bri, Ty, and baby Han at our house in Harlem. It was a very cute house, can't say the same about the neighborhood. We then grabbed some grub at a local Harlem restaurant and had fried chicken and waffles. I don't really get why anyone would like it but I guess if you are into that power to ya. We hiked a long trek towards the water front to try and watch the fire works across the river. By the time we got to where we could see the fireworks we were so exhausted we decided to turn back and start making our way back to beat the crowd! We did enjoy some of the fireworks and snapped a picture of course! The next few days we went to museums, good restaurants and of course shopped to our hearts content. Don't worry we hit canal street to see if there was any knock off jewelry/bags we wanted to take home with us. We spent the day touring Ground Zero and seeing the new construction they are up to. It's beautiful and incredible. My mind was blown at the space that was left behind and all the names that were left with no remains.
Our view of the fireworks! Over 4 million people gather each year!

History museum we went to.
Sunday morning we jumped on the MegaBus and drove to Delaware where Bri and Ty's car was parked. We went to church and enjoyed a nice home cooked meal courtesy of Chef Briana. They next day we spent in Rohoboth Beach. We stopped by an Irish pub with amazing food. We played in the sand and waded in the jellyfish infested water.

I'm 16 weeks pregnant here...probably the last i'll see of that bikini.
We headed into Philadelphia the next morning where we saw the Liberty Bell, and Independence Hall (where the deceleration was signed for all of you who don't know your U.S. history-shame on you) We then went to Redding Market where I met up with an old work friend Adrianna and her adorable baby girl Penny, You can see her blog here. She's a talented mom

We headed to Baltimore where Dad had a conference. We were excited to find that we were walking distance from a decent shopping mall and our hotel overlooked the water. We headed to Amish Country where we enjoyed making pretzels, eating ice cream, touring parts of the countryside, petting animals and eating baked goods. It was so interesting to learn about their religion and lifestyle! I love when people are dedicated and love the way they live, and they truly do. The next few days were humid and rainy. We spent most of our time watching HGTV and shopping! We went to an amazing museum and were so bummed when we had to leave because our parking meter was going to run up. Bri, Ty, and Han met up with us the last day where we enjoyed our last super at P.F. Changs where the memorable Hannah head butted the table full force. The Harlan's flew back to SLC and I was lucky enough to spend 3 extra days with the Kelley Family! They were nice and relaxed days filled with playing, eating Amish donuts, picnicking, canoeing, and good laughs.

A triplet convention they were having in Baltimore! We couldn't stop laughing!
Lums Pond canoeing and picnic. Hannah was hot and not enjoying the ride much.
It was a beautiful trip but I sure did miss Glen by the end and was ready to get back to him! Unfortunately Glen, Camille, and DJ weren't able to come out with the rest of us but i'm sure we will get all of us out there someday!
Woot! Your blog looks great! I'm glad you figured it out. We can't wait for that adorable little baby to be here. Such a fun trip!
ReplyDeleteThis is so exciting :)
