We went up to the Poconos with my family last week. Sadly, John just started a new job and didn't have the vacation time to come with us. I went up for half of the week by myself, then came back to get AJ mid-week. I know, sounds crazy--but neither John nor I wanted to be without AJ for an entire week, so we felt it was a good compromise. The drive wasn't that bad either.
Anyway, this is a trip we take with my Aunt Mary and her family and usually my Uncle George and his family are in town as well (they also have a house up there). Aunt Madeline had knee surgery (we are praying for a full recovery!), so they couldn't make it. We still had fun!
In the beginning of the week, I went with my family to Jim Thorpe. The town, as you can see from last year's blog, is so cute. They have some small museums and boutique stores. I go a little crazy every year. I have three favorite places: Marianne Montelone Designs (clothing and jewelry), Big Creek Vineyard, and The Country Cottage. I bought myself a beautiful scarf and necklace, a lot of wine, and John and AJ jams and Apple Butter.
My Mom and I posing. Wow, we look a lot a like here.
We then went to lunch. Here is Leah being as cute as ever:
And of course I had to get a picture with my girl:
In the first half of the week, we also hung out (ate a lot) and went to the beach. I don't have any pictures from that. That is it for now, I'll post the second part of the week, which is way more exciting anyway, tomorrow :).
