Summer trip recap

I said I would come back and talk about our trip so here we go.

In typical Miller style we drove to Pennsylvania instead of flying. We spent the first night in Memphis, TN and Louisville, KY the second night. We made a stop at Lake Erie for lunch and got to Athens, PA around dinner time Friday night.

It was good to spend time with my dad over the weekend. We had fun just visiting and taking the kids to the park. We found a local book sale and got there about 20 min. before they closed up. They were charging $1 a bag for books! I found several fun science books and classics for Hannah. I think we wound up with four bags of books in all. I love to read, so I was super excited.




My parents were gracious enough to watch the kids for two nights while Clint and I went to NewYork City for a little get away. Clint and I had fun just walking around and seeing all the sights.



We went to Niagra falls and it was HOT! It was 100* while we were there. Now I can say I have seen it, not sure if I would go back.

We had a good time seeing my parents and headed back home by way of Lancaster County. Before arriving in Lancaster we made a stop at Gettysburgh. We did not stay long because a huge storm blew in with lots of lightning!

Lancaster County is know for having a large Amish community and plenty of covered bridges. We did not make it to the Amish area, but we did see a few covered bridges. We also made a quick stop in Hershey, PA to see where Hershey's chocolate is made. Hannah was in heaven!

Monday night we stayed in Gattlynburg, TN. We had a nice view of the mountains and the hotel had a fun kid's indoor waterpark. I think it was the favorite stop for both my kiddos. The last stop was Memphis, TN where Clint walked over to Rendevous for some ribs. The kids and I stayed at the hotel. I was not up for taking them to a little barbecue joint after such a long day on the road.


All in all it was a fun trip and I can't wait to head back east to see more sights.
