Grandma Linda and Grandpa Bob came from Idaho for a 10-day whirlwind of activity. Sometimes I feel let down when summer comes to an end, because despite my best efforts, we didn't get to do half of what I wanted to do. But now I think I can send the kids to school without any regrets. For those of you who are considering next year's vacation, just think, all of these outings were day trips from our house (hint, hint).
Trip #1: Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Betsy Ross House, Carousel at Franklin Park
Trip #2 : Boardwalk at Ocean City and dip in the ocean at Brigntine Beach:
Trip #3: Lighthouse at Cape May
Trip #4: Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Teardrop Memorial (The Teardrop Memorial was a gift given to America in 2005 by the Russians to memorialize 9/11. It is a beautiful memorial, but not many people know about it. There aren't even any signs to it. But they are re-doing the pier it sits on, so I'm sure it will become a hot tourist spot in the future.)
Trip #5: Sesame Place
Trip #6: Valley Forge
Trip #7: Downtown Philly and the Art Museum. We ran up the steps, just like Rocky!
great pictures. looks like you had a great time. Mom
