PA trip - March 27-31st

We went to PA for half of spring break back in March. It had been a year since we were in Pennsylvania, so it was good to get back up there. We kept busy, going one day to the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA, and one day to the Children's Museum in Philadelphia. The kids had a blast and were - of course - tired out by the end of each day. We spent one day relaxing at Mom's, visiting my Grandmother and having dinner with Alan and Patrick.

Here are pics of our time at the Crayola Factory. What a fun place - we got to try out all kinds of crayola stuff. Above the museum is the National Canal Museum. Bridget and Dillon practiced putting a barge through several canals. The highlight was a fun dance screen - the kids danced and the camera projected their image in colorful ways on a huge screen in front of them. However, I don't have any very good pictures of it to show.

Here are pictures of our time at the Children's Museum.  We went a year ago when we were in PA, and had so much fun, we had to go back again this year.  The Phillies were having their 'kick-off' for the new season and there were a lot of Phanatics in the main entrance area painted by all different groups.  Also, the MadHatter was walking around entertaining the kids.  He sat for a long time and built a house with Bridget....they had it all planned out, it was cute.  Dillon sat with them and then lost sight of me and panicked...but he warmed up to the MadHatter again.

We got lost on our way to the Children's Museum - even with the GPS...b/c we had the wrong address.  It did give us the chance to see some of Philly...in the rain.  Here's one particularly cool thing - a painting on the side of a building.

We visited Grandma.  Have to love Bridget's 'posing'.  LOL

 

A last picture with Grandma b/4 getting in the car for the long, "ARE WE THERE YET?" ride home.  Seriously, I can't even begin to tell you the # of times Bridget and Dillon said it...but all in all it was a good ride home after a great trip.
