Spring Break

 Spring break!

Nick's vacation schedule coincided with spring break! We decided to make the most of it and travel. Since we are going to the West Coast we have to fill up that East Coast bucket. We started with Niagara Falls. Last time we were here Ali was just a toddler and Kat was an infant. Our family has grown a bit since then. Especially Ali! That girl is like a weed.

We decided to splurge and go on the Maid of the Mist. If you are going to Niagara, I'd definitely recommend it.

 Max was not too thrilled.

The older ones LOVED it!

  Rainbows everywhere!

 After the boat ride we walked around the top to dry off. The girls loved scaring Nick by going close to the edge. He does not like heights.

 

Then we made a trip to the aquarium there. 

Palmyra!

 

Print shop that printed the first Books of Mormon. The older ones thought it was very cool to see an old printing press. Max...not so much.

 Sacred grove. For us Mormons, this is a pretty cool place.

The next weekend, we drove south. We made it to Philadelphia, to see Abuelito! Four Pulham men. (can you find Jack?)

 

 Next up, Washington DC! A bit of Lincoln.

 A bit of Ali

 

Maybe a bit more of Ali

 Vietnam Memorial.

 The Air and Space museum.

 And of course, we had to visit their future home.

 Once we got back home, it was all relaxation time. 

 

 Oh, and my brother Albert and his wife, Ashley visited! They stayed for 3 days, but this is the only picture I have of that visit; 3 shirtless boys playing in dirt/sand.
