Crossing off the bucket list!

Hey Guys! We've been having fun going on a few north east get aways this spring! We're nearly done with our 'places to go' bucket list! Yippe! Each place we've visited has been so neat, I wish we had time to revisit some of them - but with short summers, rare long weekends, and shallow pockets - once will just have to do!

If you want to go sightseeing up here, let us know if we can help! If I could, I'd go back to Palmyra and Maine this summer, but those are both too far away to fit in a repeat trip. Newport, RI is a place we've been many times, and still love. Newport, and NYC are closer destinations that we have been to often and still love.

We went to DC over Easter weekend and visited Daniel's sisters. We saw all the monuments, a few museums, the temple, and ate some awesome fresh seafood. We also visited Mt. Vernon, which was really really cool. We spent Easter with his Grandparents and Aunt's family in Maryland. It was a fun trip!

Last weekend we went to Cape Cod, and camped at a beautiful state park right there in the cape. We biked around the rail trail, got some more fresh seafood (we like to eat, and try the local fare) and drove down to the very end of the cape in Provincetown. We also got to visit the Cape Cod Potato Chip Factory, which was a highlight for Daniel. While camping we had a run in with a chipmunk! He stole a pack of Reese's from our campsite - and then ran the bright orange package up into his tree home! We couldn't believe it! We watched the whole thing happen right in front of us! The Horror!!!!!!! Quote of the trip - "It's all fun and games until the chipmunk steals your reese's!"

Now we only HAVE to go to Montreal (June) and camp in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York - near lake placid (July). If we want to get away in August or September, we can but wont have too. And same goes for after the baby is born. All the important stops will be out of the way, so we can just sit back, and enjoy the beginnings of parenthood!

Our sweet little Girl!

Here is an updated picture of our little baby! We found out Monday that she is a girl! The best part about the ultrasound was just seeing that she is growing, healthy, and seems to be perfect! We would have been happy either way, and are just happy to know what 'it' is! Still due on September 28th, and wiggles around all the time. Daniel and I have fun feeling her move around, and felt sorry for her after seeing how squished she is! 


Look at those gymnastic skilz! This is when we were starting to feel bad for her! All cramped up! Poor girl!
