While we were in Pennsylvania, we stayed with Aunt Connie (my mom’s best friend since grade school). We felt like we were at a bed and breakfast…she was so gracious to open up her home to all of us (there were 8 of us staying there!!).
We were able to visit Mark, Amy, Nate, and Ana while we were in PA too (Mark is Aunt Connie’s oldest son). They have an AWESOME basement with lots of cool toys!
Aunt Connie, Uncle Chuck, and their family!
We had a really nice lunch at the firehouse after the funeral…it was so nice to see family we haven’t seen in years (Jennifer figured out that we hadn’t been to Pennsylvania in 21 years!).
My dad and his siblings.
My mom and her siblings.
The trip back home was not as exciting as the trip to PA (I guess the novelty of flying had worn off for Gwynn). We did have a close call when Mommy accidentally left monkey on one of the planes. We got her back though!
What a bittersweet trip this was!! I know Gram loved looking down at us celebrating her life with family we haven’t seen in ages. It was such an amazing trip and I hope it’s not another 21 years until we go back!
