We left early Thursday morning for Morgantown and made our first stop at the bookstore so Lainy and Eric could get some WVU outfits. Lainy got a cheerleading uniform, against my better judgment, ha ha. We then went to visit my old coworkers when we lived in Morgantown who we had not seen for 8 years! It was great to see them and introduce them to Lainy. We then headed on up the interstate to check into the hotel, where Lainy made herself at home on the bed for a small pit stop and off to Cabela's we went for a three hour tour...Eric was in heaven and Lainy liked looking at all the animals. She ended up with a stuffed deer of her own by the end which she held onto along with her blanket and Rae rabbit the rest of the trip. Lainy slept great and was worn out from all the traveling.
Friday, the 1st - Eric and I shared cards for our 10 year anniversary, it's hard to believe it's been 10 years. Then we all got ready and headed to Pittsburgh to the Zoo and Aquarium. We were there for hours and Lainy loved looking at the animals. The zoo was great and we had a awesome time. She ate and slept when she needed to and was along for the ride. We then checked into our hotel and tried to decide what to do for the evening. We ended up going to an outdoor shopping area and had a nice dinner at the Cheesecake Factory listening to music and watching kids play in the water. We then strolled around down town and Lainy put her toes in the local fountain for good luck. Again Lainy slept great and was out for the night.
Saturday - Next day we headed to Deep Creek Maryland and went to the Lake and the little craft/antique shops in the area. Lainy loved the lake water and was excited to put her feet in. It was so much fun and nice to wonder and look around at things. Lainy fell asleep while we were looking in the shops. That night Lainy took to the mirror behind the bed and couldn't stop looking at the baby in the mirror, so much she didn't want to go to sleep until we made her.
Sunday - Lainy slept in and we were running late but still took pictures that morning for her 6 month birthday!! We again we were on the road and went to visit friends - the Hensleys. We hung out by the pool and cooked out. Lainy loved interacting with the kids and refused to nap because there was so much going on.
Monday - we headed home. But first did some more visiting with our coworkers when we lived in Warrenton - we miss everyone so much and remember that when we have the chance to see them. Our window would not roll up on the way home, so we had to stop in Blackburg at the Jeep dealership where the part has to be ordered and I am back there in the morning to get it fixed.
Weehee....I wanted to get this down as soon as I could so I could remember everything. We took tons of pictures, it was hard to pick the ones to post. To sum it up we had a great time - 10 years married and 6 months old - time is flying by.....
