Home again, Home again

Well our whirlwind trip back east is now over...

We loved seeing all the family and friends as we crammed a summers worth of travel into 12 days. There is the recap, with photos to follow...
Day 1: BWI to Alexandria, VA
A nice time to refamiliarize Ella with Adam and Sarah and an introduction to beautiful Sable.
Day 2: Alexandria, VA to Savannah, GA
A long drive that was a nice time for Mike and I to catch up since we had been missing each other with schedules the past couple weeks. We ended with a nice dinner with Adam and Sarah at Paula Deen's restaurant.
Day 3: Savannah/Tybee Island, GA
BEACH DAY, and Grandma and Grandpa's party. We loved seeing them and all the cousins! SO much fun!
Day 4: Savannah, GA
Time to explore Savannah with family...
Day 5: Savannah, GA to Alexandria, VA
Breakfast with Linda and Mike then on the road. A wonderfully relaxing evening with Adam and Sarah.
Day 6: Alexandria, Va to York, PA (Mike flew home)
After a tough daddy dropoff, we were on our way to York to see my mom. After she got home from work we got to see her. Well worth the wait!
Day 7: York, PA
A lazy day at home, we did go in and have lunch with Grandma at school. After school, Renate and Kathy got haircuts!
Day 8: York, PA
The kids were not feeling so hot after all the exhaustive travel, so we had a quiet day at home. Gladys, a family friend, came to see the kids. When my mom got home from work, we had Sally and Didi over for dinner. It was wonderful!
Day 9: York, PA to Alexandria, VA
After work, my mom drove with us to Adam and Sarah's to spend the night. We had a nice dinner with them and Sarah's brother, Mike.
Day 10: Alexandria, VA to Raleigh, NC
Off to the wedding, we got there just in time to change and get on the shuttle. A beautiful ceremony, couple and reception. Ella is a dancing queen!
Day 11: Raleigh, NC to Gaithersburg, MD
A quick visit with my cousin Amy who is expecting a new baby this week! We were so excited to get to see her, Sean and Allison. Ella and Allison play so nicely together.
Day 12: Fly Home
But not before squeezing in more travel!!!! We went to the Baltimore Zoo to see some animals and tire them out before the flight. It was great, the Baltimore Zoo is so kid friendly and has a fantastic children's zoo area with places for them to play and explore.

We were so glad to see daddens (Mike) when we got home. I have 2 very exhausted kids, but they are happy and we saw a LOT of loved ones. It was a great trip.
