New Jersey

We had a great trip to New Jersey this year. The plane ride was a little crazy with Mattie- she did NOT want to stay in her seat and let everyone know about it!


Our first day trip was to Ocean City. The weather was cool and rainy but we still had a good time. Shea rode all the rides with his cousin while I just got to sit and watch - BUMMER! The one thing I was allowed to go one - got me SOAKING wet! Because of the rain we weren't able to go down to the beach.


Anther trip we made was to Philadelphia. This was really cool. The weather was absolutely perfect for a walking tour. We ate authentic cheesesteaks and walked around what used to be Benjamin Franklin's house and Post Office. I got to have a little reinactment of "National Treasure" as we walked past Independence Hall - you know - where to find the glasses that will let you read the map...


Another cool thing was the "Pirate Adventure Tour" we took. We got painted up like pirates and boarded the ship. W got to fight off the bad pirates and hunt for the treaure. Some parts scared Shea a little bit but Mattie, Pop-Pop and I had a great time. I think I am going to open up a boat like this around here somewhere. Anyone want to invest?


We had a great time but were happy to come home after our very busy trip!
