The family trip this year was to Pennsylvania, mainly to visit Sesame Place, but oddly enough, my bucket list had lots of to-do's in that great state. We decided that driving would be the best/easiest way to accomplish what we have loving called "factory tour vacation 2012". Lots of people and things made our trip possible. We started out on Saturday morning and made it to Roanoke for dinner and sleeping.
Thanks to Grandma Caren & PaPa Marvin for driving over to have dinner with us, it was a fun visit
this is what happens when both kids want to sit on Dad's head, this might be the last vacation where either of them are small enough for Mom to be able to hold them
Many thanks to the Jackson family for hosting us for lunch on Sunday afternoon. It was the best to be able to break up our driving for a great lunch and visit with friends! We really enjoyed watching the boys fight over all the pink toys!!
Natalie and the boys being silly
Finally on the way home, this was our last rest stop before ending the night in Charlotte.
We have learned to make the road trip just as much fun as the vacation itself. Some tips: a good hotel with a pool to kill time and energy, trip fairy visits to give the kids some much needed entertainment, taping a paper car to the car ceiling so the boys can see how much longer we have to travel, and the highlight from this year, finding a rest stop to have lunch that has a live cover band (Thank to the great state of W. VA for providing great music while we enjoyed a break)!
