Family Vacation

I thought you would all be excited that I am doing a web date in a pretty timely fashion (only 2 ½ weeks since my last one) but I wanted to post all the great pictures from our recent family vacation to Boston, New Jersey and New York City. We had a wonderful time on our trip which began by visiting Aunt Jenny and Uncle Alex in Boston. It was great to see their new place (actually it is not so new but it was to us). We went to the Aquarium and the Museum of Science and walked around in Harvard Square and Faneiul Hall. Then it was on to Shirley, Massachusetts to stay with Gregg and Jen Gantous – Gregg and my daddy have been friends forever and we had lots of fun staying with them and their 2 cats (and the baby to be born in January – congratulations again!!!) So next we headed down to Berkeley Heights, New Jersey to stay with the Schefflers – Adam and Denise and their kids Jadyn and Logan. Mommy and Denise have been friends forever and I love hanging out with Jadyn and Logan when they come to Cleveland so it was great to be at their house. I think the last time I was there – both Logan and I were in our mommy’s tummies. We went to this really neat place called Imagine That and I had a blast! We rounded up our trip in New York City to visit Uncle Josh and Aunt Yassana and Twiggy the Chihuahua. Twiggy and I got along great – as long as she didn’t bark at me and as long as I stayed out of her way. In the city, we went to the Children’s Museum of Manhattan and saw this really neat Dora exhibit which I loved. We also headed to FAO Schwartz where I played with the toys and walked on the big famous piano. We didn’t get to do much else because it was about 150 degrees outside but next time we go I am looking forward to hanging out in Central Park. Before we got on the plane to go home we went to lunch with Cousin Sarah who also lives in NYC. As you have read – it was definitely a fun filled trip. I had a blast on the airplane and loved going through tunnels and on the trains. Now we are back in Cleveland and I have been swimming at the pool a lot. I love to go down the kiddie slides all by myself and I am really excited to turn 2 years old in less than a month. I am talking up a storm so mommy and daddy have to watch what they say in front of me since I am like a parrot. That is all for now – enjoy the photos!
