Pennsylvania Trip

We decided to take a literally "spur of the moment" trip up north to see Matt's family in Pennsylvania.  Due to projects at work, we didn't think Matt would be able to take some time off this summer for us to be able to get up there.  However, there was a break in surveying and design work, so his company said if he wanted to go...we had to go NOW! Ha!  So, Anna got her shots and the next day we bundled her up and drove through the night up!   The trip up was so easy.  She normally is a super sleeper during the night and she continued to be that way all the way to Pittsburgh where we stopped to change her and feed her.  After she had a full belly, she was good to go for another three hours...and then we arrived at Matt's grandparents!

Here are some pics from the trip...they tell the story!  There are a bunch!

Chris drew on his mom's face.....what a great sport Gran is!

Vacation is exhausting!

Her Daddy bundled her up in typical Steeler's attire...I must add that we got her a Steeler's Cheerleading outfit for football season!

I'm so glad y'all had a great time! Sorry we couldn't go also. We missed everybody for the 4th, but we're happy the grandparents got to meet little Anna. She's getting longer!

Y'all are so funny. It looks like the trip was well worth it. I'm glad Matt was able to get off work
