Family Vacation 2009

Wow, what a busy couple of weeks! My mommy had to go to Washington D.C. for work so she invited me and my daddy to tag along with her. We made a big trip out of it spending time in D.C, then New York City, and finally Philadelphia.

I saw three ball parks on our trip, including our beloved New York Met's new stadium Citi Field. I have told my parents on numerous occasions since we have been home that the best part of the entire trip was when 'Gary Sheffield hit a home run for the Mets...I finally got to see the 'apple come up!'

In D.C. all of us were able to tour the White House. Then my daddy took me to have breakfast with Harry Reid and John Ensign our state's representatives then take a tour of the capital building. I walked all the stairs of the Lincoln Memorial and enjoyed watching all the ducks, squirrels and birds around the Reflecting Pool. I even rode in my first taxi! My daddy also took me to see the Air and Space Museum, Library of Congress, and Supreme Court. My mommy was able to join us on a trip the Museum of Natural History and I saw dinosaurs....RRRRRRRR!

New York City was a lot of fun! We went to the M&M store which was exciting. We took a boat out to the Statue of Liberty, we went on a carriage ride in Central Park and did a lot of walking. We rode on the subway which I thought was great fun. We checked out the Intrepid Aircraft Carrier. Drove through the Lincoln Tunnel, loved the double decker buses and shopping at a farmers market. The highlight was seeing Spiderman...he took a picture with me...we did some crazy spider moves. We were also a part of a new traffic test in Time Square where the street is closed down to cars and traffic, allowing you to walk, sit and dance in the streets. it was pretty cool!

In Philadelphia we went to a ballgame and my daddy wore his Met's hat. The Phillies didn't like that one bit, but I still got a great caricature of myself done and had a lot of fun. The weather was very cool and rainy though.
The next day we went to the Philadelphia Zoo, the first zoo in the country. We all had a great time roaming around and looking at the animals. I especially like the gorillas.

We all had a great time and I tried my best to be the best little boy ever and I succeeded only have a couple meltdowns. I was happy to see my bed and puppies the night we returned home.
