From July 31-August 5 we flew back east to my hometown. My mom paid for our airfares (thank you, mom!) and we took the opportunity. This will be the last flying trip we make since we will be having to pay for three airfares now that Riley is TWO. Let's just say we wouldn't want to travel again any time soon anyway. We are totally traveled out and exhausted. Now, as for the PA trip...some of the highlights were eating at some of my favorite restaurants that are only back home. That stuff is always a must for me. One of the places we ate was the country club where I used to waitress. I love that place! Every first Sunday in August my mom's mom's side of the family has a reunion at a park and it's basically a potluck and then everyone just sits around catching up and playing games. Riley had lots of fun on the playground there. I got to see old friends and family. The last time we were in Pennsylvania was when Riley was 4 months old. So it had been over a year and a half since I had been home! It was Izzy's first PA experience. The highlight for Riley had to have been our trip to Pittsburgh's Zoo!!! It was so great to see all the animals.
