Baltimore Aquarium

In October, Tommy and I took Anna, Jourdan and Layla to the Baltimore Aquarium. It rained the whole time but we had a lot of fun. Jourdan's favorite part was looking at the sharks. Here they are checking them out.

Like I said, it rained the whole time we were there so on the way back to the car all the kids splashed in the puddles...including Tommy. It was a soggy ride home.

Road Trip :: And We Are Finally Home

Birthday Jourdan

Almost done with the road trip and than maybe I can actually catch up with posting current events happening in our lives. :) For Jourdan's birthday we were in Florida visiting Eaan's grandparents. We had tons of fun and it was great to see his grandparents.

On our way up the east coast we stopped by our friend's, Justin and Leah, house. This is what Eaan did most of the time...sleep. Can you see him in there? We are going back to see them in May for their wedding. We can't wait to see you guys again!

Justin and Leah's House

We decided to drive all the way to Maryland from Florida but we made sure to stop at South of the Border on the way. Everyone needs plenty of fireworks.

I think we finally pulled into my mom's house at about 4 or 5 in the morning. We were so glad to be off the road. In all, we traveled for three weeks and visited family in Phoenix, Amarillo, Orlando, Vero Beach, Palatka and Jacksonville. Whoa! We didn't want to get in a car for awhile after that. We miss all the family we saw coming across country and can't wait to see everyone again! We just aren't driving to see you! :)

Road Trip :: Navy UDT-SEAL Museum

Seal Museum

While we were visiting my Grandad we went to the Navy UDT-SEAL Museum. The life boat where the three pirates held the Captain of the Maersk Alabama hostage was temporarily on display at the museum.

Seal Museum

The museum had lots of old, interesting pictures...

...and lots of guns. Jourdan's favorite. Why do all little boys like guns?

It was very hot outside that day. Jourdan took shelter under a helicopter. This is the same place I was bit by a fire ant. Those bits hurt!

After the museum we all went back to my Grandad's house to celebrate Jourdan's birthday. He thinks he is hott stuff now that he has some money.

Rainy Day

After dinner we took a walk on the boardwalk.

Jourdan found a lizard and named him Bob.

Then it started to downpour but Grandad rescued us with an umbrella.

Grandad, we love you and miss you and hope to see you soon!


Road Trip :: Vero Beach

Rainbow

While we were traveling across country we visited my Grandad in Vero Beach, Florida. It was great to see my Grandad and have him meet Layla. I love Florida. It's so beautiful there. This rainbow was outside my Grandad's house after a downpour.

The next day we went to a beach were there was a surf competition going on.

Road Trip :: Texas to Florida

Jourdan Faces

And back to the road trip. The DVD player in the car saved our lives! Jourdan loved watching DVDs the whole trip. He was so funny to watch because he made faces the whole time. Between Texas and Florida there wasn't much to do except watch DVDs and take pictures of course.

Oops. The table broke. It was pretty windy. The umbrella didn't want to stay attached to the table.

We decided, well Tommy decided, to use the umbrella for another purpose. Don't worry...he lived.

Road Trip :: Jourdan and His Cars

Car Track

While we were in Amarillo Uncle Teddy made Jourdan a car track for the car ride. And Aunt Gayle painted it for him. Jourdan loved it.

Car Track

There was a helicopter pad and a dinosaur mud pit.

Blue Puppy was even on there.

Everything Jourdan loves was on there. No wonder he loved it!
