Trip to Plymouth

I have been so lazy about blogging and e-mailing lately, but I am finally getting around to sharing the details of  our trip to Plymouth, MA to visit Jeff's family.

We arrived around 1:30 a.m. on Friday morning.  I was shocked at how cold it was when I stepped out of the car.  It was so cold that I wished I had my winter coat.  Kira did okay in the car, but hated being stuck in her car seat.  She woke back up to spend a few minutes with her Grandma and Grandpa Clark, and then had a difficult time going back to sleep.

It was still cold when we woke up, but the temperature gradually rose each day that we were there.  We spent our first day (also Kira's 8th month birthday) relaxing and spending time together as a family.

On Saturday we headed down to the waterfront to check out a craft show.  The craft show was not very impressive, but we enjoyed some beautiful weather and showed Kira the sights!  That evening we went to Cape Cod to eat at a yummy Italian restaurant!

On Sunday the whole family came over and we had a big meal.  Kira loved playing with her cousins and they loved playing with her!  It's too bad I couldn't kidnap Abby and bring her back with us, she was such a good helper!

On Monday we went to the Cape Cod Canal Museum and took a short walk along the Cape Cod Canal.

On our last day we just hung around the house and enjoyed the beautiful weather outside.  Later that afternoon, we got in the car and made the long and tiring trip home.  Next time, we are definitely flying!
