Road Trip

At the end of my extensive two week summer vacation my parents came out here to see Bridget. I still had a couple of days till school started up again and they wanted to go on a trip so we headed down to Washington D.C. for the Labour day long weekend. This was Bridget's first road trip and she did really well. It was a four hour drive down there and she slept almost the entire way except for the last 10 minutes when she cried uncontrollably.

It was nice to have someone else there to take pictures of all three of us

The first night we were there we walked to the monuments and lucked out with a great sunset. Bridget had her diaper changed on the grass at the Washington monument.

You'll see more of him later.

So we saw all the monuments, took a tour of the Capital, went to the library of Congress, went to a couple of the Smithsonian museums and went to the Arlington cemetary and then we were out of DC. But not before stopping at the DC temple.

We left DC and headed into Pennsylvania to Gettysburg. We checked out the battlefield and walked around the town that still has buildings with bullet damage in them from the battle. Maybe in 150 years people will come to Jersey City and be impressed by the buildings here too.

Our next and final stop of our trip was at Hershey Pennsylvania. We toured their faux factory and the city that was built around the factory. There was lots of chocolate but no oompa-loompas, I looked. All of that chocolate was lost on Bridget and she could have cared less.

My dad and I did a run in Central Park. I always have a good time doing these runs and I think my Dad was pretty excited to do one too.

Bridget was there to cheer us on.

Every year on the evening of Sept. 11th the city puts up these lights to remind the terrorists that Batman still watches over Gotham City
