Fall 2010

Fall of 2010 has been a busy time... packed with lot's of fun!

I went back to Hershey and Washington DC with my Dad - so he could go to a train show - I got to spend a few days with my good friend Kathleen - which was wonderful as always.  And I got to show my dad some of my favorite places!

My Dad at Hershey's Chocolate World - maybe the happiest place on earth!

At the Strasburg Pennsylvania Railroad Museum - I always like the train museums that have real trains in them much more than those that have model trains - after the museum we drove through the rest of Amish Country and my dad finally got his Amish dinner that we deprived him of in 1998



As we walked through Washington DC - I was able to accomplish my goal - and after walking from the Capitol - through two Smithsonians - The Archives around the WWII Monument and the Washington Monument before we could continue on our walk to the WhiteHouse my Dad asked to take a rest --- it was a beautiful moment to have not been the first to suggest the rest when walking with my dad.




My Dad at Mount Vernon on the last day of our Trip.




The Weekend after I got back - we took a girls trip for Book Club up to the cabin - after the girls left on Saturday, Steve, Justin, Carson and Reese came up to join April and I for the rest of the weekend.

Finally the weekend after the cabin Steve and I went down to St. George for the Monster Dash 5K with his parents.  It was a great trip and a good race Steve set a new personal record of 47:45 - last year the same race took him over an hour.


While all the traveling was fun and I miss it when I haven't gone somewhere for a while to be honest this weekend just being home has been a treat!
