A week and a half ago we got home from our first family vacation with Preston. We spent two weeks traveling in the east and had a blast. The trip was centered around an extended family reunion in Palmyra, NY where we saw the Hill Cumorah Pageant. The pageant was amazing. Over the course of the two weeks we put 2000 miles on our rental car. We flew into Chicago, IL and out of Pittsburgh, PA and hit several points in between.
We loved having so much time together as a family and were pleased that Preston (despite lack of sleep, spending a LOT of time in his carseat or stroller, and enduring hot, humid weather) was a pleasant boy a majority of the time.

I can't not wait to meet your little guy! He's so cute!
Wow! That was a marathon trip. Looks like you got to do a lot of neat things. Preston is getting so big! I love his blonde hair!
What a wonderful vacation - I hope to go on a trip like that someday! Preston seems to love the water..
Wow, that's a lot of driving. Wish I'd have known you were out my way, you could've stayed w/ us in Columbus. We're actually headed to Palmyra and Niagara Falls this weekend, looks fun. Preston sure is a cutie.
