"And that's why you always leave a note."

So for 2 weeks we went up to CT to visit Grammy and Grandpa. We left in our car a little before lunch time on a Friday. 16 hours..yes 16... we got to their house in the wee hours of the morning. (Just a tip..NEVER EVER take the George Washington Bridge..even at 1 am on a Friday). So after a little sleep, we geared up to see Cousin Sofie and Auntie Heather. Natalie was so excited to play with Sofie. And she loved Grammy's doll house..or Princess Castle as Natalie called it. On Sunday, Godmamma Jamie came on the train to spend the day with us. Natalie loved the stickers from her and Paul and I enjoyed catching up with her. And with Natalie's train obsession, she loved getting to see Jamie get back on the train to head home and for days we heard "Jamie goes on the train!".

We relaxed a good bit while we were up there and took a few (ok too many) trips up to the outlet mall. We got to eat the BEST pizza (so much better than the one we got here that had AMERICAN cheese on it) and lots of seafood( Natalie loves shrimp and lobster!). We got to spend a day with Auntie Ally, Uncle Nick, Immy and Jamie and play with all of their toys. We even got to go to the beach with them! We went hiking with Auntie Heather and Sofie, hung out and caught up with our friend Dimitar who drove in from NJ, and got to see lots of other family and friends. On the way home, we stopped in NJ to see Nana and Papa (who were up there for their 45th high school reunion), Auntie Lisa, Uncle Dave, Lizzie, Auntie Patti, Uncle Tom, and a dear friend Lisa. The drive from NJ only took 13 hours!! Here are a few pictures from our trip. Enjoy!
