Labor Day Weekend


As a last hurrah! for the summer we went on a weekend getaway.

 We spent the first day and night in Strasburg, PA (Lancaster County) exploring Cherry Crest Farms, riding the Strasburg Railroad, eating and relaxing at our hotel.

Jacob loved this slide

Checking out the buggy-I feel like such a tourist in this shot

The other leg of the train trip. Jacob has been talking about it ever since:
"Mama, I like da riding da train!" and "Thank you Baba (Doug) for riding da train!"


The second day of our trip we drove further north and west to the State College area up in the mountains. It was beautiful. We enjoyed napping, reading, hiking and just generally being out in nature and away from the city. Doug also got to see the test wind turbine that Penn State has up.


Here's a picture of the bed and breakfast we stayed at.

We had fun...now it's back to school and work!

That last shot of Jacob in the grass is the best. I'm so glad you guys got a get away before hitting the books again. Good luck in school!
