We are back!/scenes from the car

We are back from our vacation and I am at a loss as to how to post my 910 photographs I took. We had a great time. We visited 5 states (if you include the hour layover in Atlanta), and almost one foreign country! (We looked at Canada from our boat in Niagara).
Here is where we visited:
Palymyra and New York
Niagara Falls, New York
Kirtland and Hiram, Ohio
Gettysburg, PA
Liberty Park, New Jersey
New York, New York
Susquehanna, PA
Philadelphia, PA
Valley Forge, PA

I have some really great photos and am going to post them on some kind of web album soon.

I had to post these car photos just because they capture the moments we had so well in the car. My kids were constantly hooked up to some kind of electronic device at all times. I kept saying, "look out the window! you are missing so much, it's so pretty here!, blah blah blah."
I remember being a kid and driving all over the place whenever we were moving somewhere being bored out of my mind, probably not ever thinking that scenery was fun to look at. What I would have done for a hand held video device at that time!!! I guess when they get older they can look out the window and realize the beauty we have here, in our blessed land.


We had all the little boys on our way up to Susquehanna for the baptism of Thomas and Sam.

Tom is kept happy/awake by his fav, Spitz. The Cracked Pepper Spitz are good, but I think he loves the Dill Pickle Spitz the best.


These two boys are so sweet together.

Nathaniel was slept on by all of us I think during this trip, except for Tom.

Looks like lots of fun! Beautiful pictures of the baptism, by the way. I had to laugh at the picture of Tom with sunflower seeds. Darren can't survive a road trip without them, either!

You got some good roadtrip pictures. Don't save ALL your pictures for later on a web device. Post some!

I like taking pictures of people sleeping. It's so funny. Glad you had a great time. You can do like Beth does and post every single picture on FB. It takes hours to look at all of them, but fun to look at.
