Wow! What an amazing trip we had! We had such an incredible time and we were able to see so much! We spent a day at Cape May, this is the southern most point of New Jersey and it was beautiful! The old Victorian houses were breathtaking! We had lunch at the Lobster House! Sounds great but if your not into seafood much it is hard to figure out what to eat. Kourtney and I both enjoyed the clam chowder (that was safe enough!) Everyone else was much more adventurous, especially Brycen, he had Calamari and raw clams... the calamari stayed down!!
We were able to go to Maryland and see our dear friends the Mahaffeys!! It is so nice to just pick up where we left off even though it has been 3 years!!
The coldest day of the week we spent at the Statue of Liberty. It was so fun to watch the kids get excited about it. Kourtney said "oh my gosh, it's right there and it's not even on TV."
We spent our last day in Philadelphia!! We took the duck tour which was hysterical! Riding the streets of Philly, blowing a duck whistle was definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity!
The area is so full of history it is just amazing!!
Now I will honestly admit that the best part of being in New Jersey was seeing my Mom and Dad again! I told my kids that one day they would actually feel this way about me!
We had so much fun seeing Grandma and Grandpa being missionaries! We met some amazing members in the area and enjoyed getting to know the Elders and Sisters! I think all 3 of the kids are even more excited about going on missions now!!!
