12 days, 6 states, lots of family and lots of adventures...
From New Mexico to Illinois for a plane change, landed in Newark to see the New Jersey family. We spent one day in New York City. Then we road tripped across Pennsylvania. On the plane ride home there was a short stop in Texas. Lots of travel for the time we were gone.
Some highlights...
The first leg of the trip was in New Jersey to see my cousin, Nikki, graduate from high school. Between graduation events, Grandma, Matt (my other cousin in NJ) and I played a lot of card games. Aunt Laura and Uncle Mark also took us to an Italian place for dinner that was quite yummy.

The next portion of our trip was through Pennsylvania...Road tripping with Grandma and Great Uncle Jim. We stopped briefly in Renovo to see where this part of the family grew up, then headed to State College for the night. The following day we finished our drive across PA to Pittsburgh, where we met up with Great Aunt Grace and Uncle Bill.
