Driving south AGAIN!

Just our family hit the road tonight straight from Addie’s play, destined for Florida sometime this weekend. It’s 3am and we’re finally checked into a hotel for the night in Poughkeepsie. We had hoped to just make it through Connecticut, but our hotel there, get this, had no hot water! So we moved on and will just have a slightly shorter drive tomorrow to see Grandpa in Virginia. More on our adventures this week coming up.

A stop in Pennsylvania.

Sunday we got to see our cousins the Russels! I had so much fun and lt is good to see them! I had a great time with Micah and Levi!

THE POST in Connecticut at a rest stop

This is a very icky and cool light post that we saw at a rest stop. It has lots of cool stickers on it and a few that say swears. It has gotten very much colder since we have been in Florida. In Florida it was 81 degrees and now that we are here it is 38. I bet that post is as cold as a ice cube and during the summer hotter than a frying pan.  -Addie

 

The visiting of the cousins: by Charlie

We went to a bakery in Richmond, and we got lots of good food, like chocolate muffins and blueberry muffins, and stuff like that.  It was very very very good, and daddy helped a girl bring gluten free and wheat free flour into the bakery.  We went to Johnnie's school's playground.  Johnnie is our cousin.  I listed a bunch of the states on Johnnie's school map, and my favorite state was Texas. -Charlie

                       

 

Fun in Washington, D.C.

We are standing right in front of the White House and we can see secret service on the roof. Kinda cool to see it mini at legoland and then in real life. 

My bad, I'm smashing the Washington Monument. It seems small in the picture but it is actually really big. 

The Monument does not taste good!

Legoland Nature: by Ruby

We went to Legoland and we went to Cyprus Gardens and saw a huge Banyan Tree.  It has many many many many many branches that grew down to the ground to make new roots.  When we were at the thinking zone we ate lunch and we saw Blue Herons, finches, Florida Comorants, and a Green-backed Heron.  We also saw lots of sea gulls.  My favorite part of Cyprus Gardens was the Cinderella Lego lady stage.  My favorite part of Legoland was all the rides that I went on.  My favorite ride was the wooden roller coaster because it didn't go too fast or too slow, and it was really fun.
