Our mini vacation took us to Washington DC, Hershey Park and then to Wellsville, NY to see Tom's family. I think my kids feel like they can say "they have been there, did that" in regards to DC. My husband and I felt more of an appreciation now that we are older. (I have completely different type of memories from my last trip there which was when I was a senior in high school... Oh my!!)
While in Hershey park we met up with my brother Shawn and his family. We had fun. It was a little bit of a challenge having 2 different age groups of children. We made it work. I was happy as a clam in the chocolate store.
Our final destination at the family homestead in Wellsville was relaxing. We squeezed in some golf, a little open mic night, a pool party, birthday cake, and a street fair that was part of the Balloon Festival. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate for all of the schedule lifts so they only wen't up a couple of times. This year I only was able to see from a distance or while they were only half inflated.
