New York/Rhode Island Trip 2010

We're finally home! On August 4, Brody, Ali, my dad and I set off for upstate NY for a fun filled week of vacation. The trip went very smoothly and we had a wonderful time spending time with family in absolutly gorgeous weather.
On the 10th, we picked up Jon in Albany to drive over to Rhode Island for the remainder of the week. The drive was going smoothly until Brody threw up 20 minutes away from Mimi's house. Like any good parents, we pulled off the highway to clean him off and get him changed. It wasn't until we arrived in RI that we realized that Brody's prized "big firetruck" was left on the side of the highway in Mass. Thank goodness for Nana who overnighted a new replacement. We again had a fabulous time enjoying the weather, ocean, family and friends.
The return trip wasn't so smooth...
Since Jon had to work, he flew out Monday morning leaving my friend Gretchen and I to weather the excruciatingly long drive home. Everything was going great until we reached the NY state line and...Brody stikes again! Luckily we were close to Auntie Lisa's house and were able to stop, visit, eat, and clean up Brody and the car. In addition to that speed bump, we also hit ridiculous traffic in New Jersey. Needless to say, I am very happy to be home but definately sad for our vacation to be over. The pictures of the trip are on seperate posts since there are so many of them!
