Now that we have gotten into the "back to school" routine, I realized that I did not post anything about our family trip to New Jersey. Back at the beginning of August, Mom, Pops and I took a long weekend and went to visit Aunt Alexa, Uncle Ivan, Amelia & Edwinn in New Jersey! It was a great road trip. We left on Thursday night after work, drove through Ohio, West Virginia and stopped in Pennsylvania for the night. Friday morning/afternoon we finished driving through PA and on into New Jersey. I liked driving through Pennsylvania, because we drove through some tunnels dug into the mountains.
Once we made it to the Knapp's house, we got settled in and rested for a bit, then headed to dinner and explored their community and some of the neighboring ones too. I was really excited for Saturday, because we were headed to NYC!. We visited the American Museum of Natural History, stopped by the Guggenheim, made a quick stop in Central Park, then Aunt Alexa drove us home by way of Times Square!

We made our way back to the Knapp's house and later in the evening Mom and I went with Aunt Alexa, Amelia, and Edwinn to a birthday party, while Uncle Ivan and Pops had some brother time.
On Sunday, despite the threat of rain, we decided to take a chance and head toward the Jersey Shore. We were glad we did! The day started out a little overcast, but the wind blew the clouds away and we had sunshine and blue skies. I was especially excited to go to the beach, because this was my first beach visit ever!
After a great day at the beach, Mom and Dad decided that it might be good if we started driving toward home. We pack the car, said our goodbyes and gave one more hug! We all had a great time and can't wait to go back again!
