We went on a marathon of a vacation because Dee said that he wanted to drive across the country once. Well, this was his once. We visited Des Moines, Nauvoo, New York City, Washington DC, the coast in Deleware, Wisconsin Dells, and Mt. Rushmore. Here are the photos.
We had such a good time! We loved NYC. The crowds on Times SQuare were a little much for Devin, but the rest was really great. We went to Ellis Island and found lots of family names, but since I have never really checked out our family history, who know if any of them, besides Dee's great-grandfather, were relatives. It was cool to see that there were Isaaks, Quigleys (lots of Quigleys), Zacs, and Kudlacs. The kids loved all the Smithsonian museums in Washington. Devin and I forced everyone into the Art museum, and we agreed that we could have spent an entire day just there. The day we spent at the beach was fantastic. We watched dolphins play and then we discovered there were lots of jellyfish. Liam got a little too personal with one, but didn't seem too traumatized. On the way home we played in a water park, and discovered that I love wave pools, but not tube slides. Now we are busy recovering from all our fun and getting ready for school.
