Frozen Lemonade

This is for all of you that think it doesn't get cold in Florida.  I woke up this morning to find icicles on my lemon tree.  Frozen lemonade anyone??

Washington DC

The last stop on our journey was Washington DC.  We had such a good time visiting with some old friends.  On one day we went to all of the major monuments and on the second day we went to some of the museums.  Here are a few pics from monument day.

The Prez was on the move....

Maine

I am so far behind on blog posts so please bear with me.  After Christmas at my dad's we went up to Maine for a few days.  We had a terrific time visiting with Connie's sister and family.  Here are some shots from the snowball fight we had.

Kat loved the never ending sno-cone

Christmas With Grampy

We had a wonderful Christmas at my dad's house.  Here are a couple pics from Christmas morning.

Katherine Wanted Snow

Kat wanted to see snow and she certainly had her wish granted.  We got up to my dad's house in Massachusetts and there was about 18 inches of snow on the ground.  It was the perfect consistency for building snowmen and making snowballs.  Here are a few pics from us playing in the snow.

The Big Apple!

The drive to New York was a dramatic comparision with our drive to Philly.  Picture perfect in every way.  The only slowdown was 15-20 minutes getting through the Lincoln Tunnel.  It has been wonderful thus far in the city.  We got to meet up with our friends that recently moved away from Florida to New York.  Went ice skating in Bryant Park, had a snowball fight in Central Park, visited the fabric mecca Mood Fabrics, and to top it all off a private tour of Sirius Satellite Radio with the Producer of the Busted Halo Show.  Here are a few pics of the highlights.

Philadelphia

What a long day in the car.  What should have been a nice and easy 7 hour drive turned in to a horrible 9 hour fight with traffic.  Everything was going great until 60 miles or so outside of Washington DC.  Then it all went bad.  Bumper to bumper and stop and go for the next 3 hours.  We were so glad to finally make it to our hotel in Philly.  The cold weather finally hit us with a vengeance.  It was in the teens on Saturday night and warmed up to the high 20's on Sunday morning.  Sunday morning was an amazing time.  We got to visit the Liberty Bell and pretty much got a private tour of Independence Hall.  I am getting goosebumps thinking about being in this historic place.
