Fireworks!
After a very long drive home, we swapped Grandma for Dilly in Frederick last night:
Then Corrin had a very warm welcome home!
Her Mommy and Daddy missed her very, very much!
Look, Daddy even risked burning down the house (sorry if the video is sideways):

One Cheesecake Brownie
Today's highlights...
Corrin: sampling ice cream and seeing ice cream being made
Grandma: having three samples of ice cream
Me: besides ice cream, getting photos of two more capitols
ICE CREAM!
That doesn't look like Ben or Jerry...
Concord, NH
Montpelier, VT

Puffins!
Where we went:
I think I see one!
Standing on the rocks, right in the middle of the picture (at least we will know it was a puffin, really it was):
Okay, you can't miss these two, swimming in the water near the buoys:

More Observations
4. It's hard to tell secrets to Grandma so your niece doesn't hear when you have to yell so Grandma can hear you.
5. There literally IS a Dunkin Donuts on every corner in New England.

The Lobster and the Fish
With some hestitation, Corrin stood next to a lobster...
...but wouldn't get any closer than this to this fish.
Can you blame her?

Only 3 States Today (5 yesterday)
We got to see a lot more today, not just from the car window...
Corrin's highlight of the day: seeing all the animals (at the Seacoast Science Center) and playing on the rocks.
Grandma's highlight: "Getting bitten by mosquitos in the cemetery"
Kiri's highlight: getting back to Maine, finally!
Coffin House - Newbury, MA (Grandma's actual highlight)
Corrin's favorite picture (yup, that's a little turtle)
Look, Corrin's crushing a lighthouse!
Max watch out...you're not the only artist in the family (seahorses made out of wikki stix, just before the waitress but the plate on top of them)

Phelps
Although she probably doesn't appreciate it now, Corrin just watched Olympic history happen. "USA! USA! USA!"
Saturday in the Park
It was a tough job, but somebody has to do it. How else would all the cars be able to cross the Hudson River on the Tappan Zee Bridge if someone didn't hold it up?
Corrin took a ride on a carousel in Bushnell Park (Hartford, CT) that was as old as her great-grandfather would have been if he were still alive (1914). She liked the fact that the horse tails were made out of real horse hair.
Corrin's highlight of the day: Horan's Landing (where bridge photo was taken)
Grandma's highlight: the carousel
Kiri's highlight: getting another state capitol photo (below)

Observations so far
1. Older people and little people sleep a long time
2. Little kids are afraid of automatic toilets (don't know why I never thought about that, they scare me sometimes when they flush early!)
3. You're never too old to sleep with stuffed animals (my Eeyore enjoyed the company of Pinkie, Sunshine, and Emily last night)

Cornfields
Day 1 comes to a close. We made it to Bethlehem, PA (home of my alma mater) after a late start and sucky traffic on the way to Frederick. I asked Corrin, my niece, what was her highlight of the day and she said all the farms we passed. We're staying at a Holiday Inn Express, so tomorrow we'll be able to do anything!
Road Trip Day 1
I'm New England bound with my Mom and my Niece for a little road trip. Hoping to see puffins! Check back to follow our travel...

Milestone
Look, I hit 55,555 in my car today (well, yesterday now really I guess). I've had the car for almost 4 years...I know, I know, a disgrace to the family with such low mileage! (please ignore all the dust)
