Last Days of Summer
Since this is the girls last week of vacation, and Debbie is working, I have usually taken a day or two and spent time with the girls. In the past we have gone swimming, or to the zoo. This year, we had so much fun at Long Pond in Acadia, that we tried kayaking again. This time on the Little Miami River! We did the short trip, but it was fun! No one fell in, but Bob did take on a little water when he backed into a log.
The Rest of Summer Vacation
Well, it's almost back-to-school time... another Summer comes to an end. In fact, Debbie is already teaching and the girls start on Tuesday.
So I thought it would be good to put a little more of Summer Vacation on the blog. While this wasn't part of the New England trip, it is still a lot of great fun!

Home Again
We're home... more later.
Well, it's a week later and I am finally posting something. I was going to stop and let the girls swim at Oglebay Park! But, alas one of us wasn't feeling well and we thought it wasn't nice to swim and leave someone out. So, we just drove through and headed home. We finally stopped for lunch mid-afternoon. Can you tell me where?
I am still sifting through the pictures. Maria took over 1000 pictures, and Sarah had 1000 pre-vacation and vacation pictures to sift thru.
So, if I find a few gems... I will post them here,too.
Hope you enjoyed the ride!

Heading Home
We left Delaware and headed toward home. We could go north through Pennsylvania, or south through Maryland. Paul suggested to the girls that we go to Hershey, Pa. So we headed up toward Strasburg and Lancaster, Penna. Debbie drove and Bob got a good shot of the Strasburg Railroad heading into the station.
The highlight of the day was a visit to Hershey's Chocolate World. Like everyone else, you really don't see the real process any more. You take a ride on a gentle car through an animate tour of the process of making chocolate bars and kisses.
We had lunch there, bought a few souvenirs and headed west again.
We stopped for the night at Bedford Pennsylvania. The girls swam for the last time on vacation..... or did they? ??

Goldie Locks and the Three Bears
After leaving New York, we stopped in New Jersey for lunch. We reassessed the rest of our vacation and decided that we are ready to come home. So we didn't do anything but eat lunch in New Jersey.
We decided to stay near Bob's nephew's and stop into see them. When we contacted them, they invited us to stay in their guest room. They have a wonderful guest room and wonderful house. It is a work in progress, but the progress they have made is marvelous! Kelley and Paul fixed a delicious dinner. Then we were entertained by Veronica, Eve, Maria and Sarah in three short plays... "Blown Away", "Princess and the Pea" and "Goldie Locks and the Three Bears".
As we left, Kelley had some good coffee and fresh fruit for breakfast. To be honest, the best we have eaten are at the friends and family we have stopped to see.
Veronica's bed is the old youth bed that her Grandmother and yes, Uncle Bob used to sleep in. Grandma would be so happy to see here in this bed!

Bob couldn't get Eve to smile at him, but he did manage to snap this shot after Maria got her to smile! |
