Back to reality

Well after a whole week away from my horrible job I have to go back to work. :( Oh well what can I do? Outside of finding a new job or getting Tony a huge raise.

This past week has been fun though!

Aug 11 - we left for Pittsburgh PA. We decided to go there for our vacation because of the Pirates being in town. We started the day at the Pittsburgh Children's Museum. Then we checked into our hotel and Colleen & Patrick went swimming. Daniel started to run a fever at dinner that night.

Aug 12 - we went to the Pittsburgh Zoo. It was a free visit! we liked that :) Then after the zoo we went to ride the Incline and did not have any money. There was an ATM at the top of the ride but none of our cards worked so we rode for free. Then we went out for dinner and then all of us went swimming! it was a good day!

Aug 13 - We started the day with a swim and then we went to the History Museum. Daniel still sick so he did not enjoy it much but the kids did really well with all the walking we had to do. After the museum we went to the Pirates game. The game lasted less than 2 hours and the kids had a really good time! They all got baseball hats as a souvenir from the trip and we very happy about that - even though finding one for Patrick took a long frustrating time for all of us. After the game we went back to the hotel and chilled

Aug 14 - headed back to Marion :( The trip came to a quick end. We left the hotel and went to IKEA to shop. Colleen pooped in the potty for the first time! it was so cool. The boys got to spend time in the play area there while we shopped. Colleen couldn't she was too small she was sad but she did have a good time shopping. Then we headed home and finished the trip off with some putt putt by the Dutch Heritage on Rt 97.

I think all in all we had a really good time on this vacation! our next mini-trip is to Cincinnati to see the Reds play baseball - we may go to the aquarium
