Part 1 of Summer Vacation






We went on a week vacation to Philadelphia and Virgina Beach. I will cover the vacation in two posts, one from Sesame Place and the other at Virginia Beach.

Sesame Place is a theme park that is based off of Sesame Street. Grace really enjoyed it. There was some freakish cold front that came through the week we were there and the highest the temperature got was like 78 degrees. It made for a very comfortable day doing all the dry attractions, not so much with the water attractions. We got our swimming suits on and lasted a whole ten minutes in the first water ride. Grace's lips were a deep shade of purple and she was shivering. The problem was that the park consisted of probably 70% water rides and 30% dry attractions. So we did all we could do in one afternoon with the dry stuff and we were done. We had two day passes and didn't come back the second day because it was even colder. We did take Grace to the Elmo's World Show and she loved it!!!

She was so tired that she fell asleep before we got to the highway when we left there that day. We went back to our hotel and took a long nap and then went out to dinner. We had such a relaxing time-no agenda, just spending time together. Grace was so funny in all the hotels we went to, checking them out and looking around. That night when we were trying to get to bed I heard Grace singing "nana nana Elmo's World, nana nana". That right there made the entire trip to Sesame Place worth it. The drive to Pennsylvania was beautiful. I loved driving through the mountains. Grace did wonderful in the car and lasted hours with out having to get out and that surprised Jamie and I. We were prepared for the worst.

So enjoy the pictures.
