Phew! We had a wonderful family vacation this year- very relaxing and rejuvenating, but many miles traveled, just over 2,000 to be exact. I am forever indebted to the creator of the portable DVD player. The overall highlight of this trip by far though was getting to spend time catching up with friends. We left on a Friday night after work and drove to Milford, CT to spend the night. We drove in some pretty intense rain/thunder storms that night. It really felt like we were watching the lightning from a planetarium. Saturday morning woke up, realized I had left Noah's hat and sandals home... grrrrr, and drove to Philadelphia. In Philadelphia we stayed with our friends from Dartmouth Gerry, Emily & their (almost) 2yo son Matthew. They were kind enough to host a BBQ for dinner with other Darmouth & Bowdoin friends living in Phily. It is far more pleasant to have a backyard BBQ than to drag the kids out to eat and expect to catch-up:) On Sunday morning Gerry, Emily & Matthew took us to the "Please Touch Museum" which was thrilling for Noah and James. I am quite sure that Noah would have stayed all day if time had allowed. He got to "drive" a city bus, work on building a car, "drive" in a real car while James danced to the music in the passenger's seat, see a puppet show, and shop in the grocery store, just to name a few highlights. I was really bad about remembering to take pictures this whole trip! Here are some from the museum with Gabe's iphone. Thank you Gerry & Emily, we had a great visit!!
