Journey to the Midwest

After several days of packing and cleaning we left New England for our new home in the Midwest. Our first stop along our six day journey began in the Hamptons, New York. 

One of the things we'd miss most about the East Coast are the beaches.  So we played in the sand and soaked up as much sun as possible. The water temperature was noticeably warmer than our favorite beach in New Hampshire. It was a great way to unwind after our big moving day.

Besides beach time, we visited the Shinnecock Indian reservation. While living on the East Coast, we've tried to visit different Indian reservations and learn more about the nearby tribes. 

We departed the Hamptons and headed to Lancaster County, PA. We explored the countryside and ate the delicious Amish cuisine.

Our next stop was Gettysburg, PA where we visited the battlefield and the museum. We purchased K's first harmonica, and this is where the endless tunes began all the way to new home.  

Lake Powell Here We Come

There has only been one summer S hasn't made her annual pilgrimage home to Lake Powell. And even though we were in the midst of packing, S didn't want to miss it.

There's something about the lake that draws us home, and we want our daughters to feel the same way too.

K reunited with her AZ scooter and enjoyed riding around the neighborhood with Uncle V. She is also showing off her hairdo, courtesy of her first trip to the hair salon. 

K experienced her first tube ride and she loved it! 

This was L's first summer visit and she could've possibly been Lake Powell's cutest summer guest.
