A trip to Valley Forge


I'm a little backlogged on my blogging this month but with a snow day I thought I'd catch up while Little Miss is taking her ciesta.  The other weekend our little family headed north to see our good friends the Bonacci's.  Their little Pete is adorable and he and Ella got along great!  Ella is still what we like to call "assertive" but Pete handled it just fine with his way mellow demeanor.  Here she is again loving on Pete.  Some might say attacking but I prefer loving.  It sounds a little more gentle:)

In keeping with our love for George Washington this season, we took a trip to Valley Forge.  After seeing his homestead Mount Vernon a couple of months ago it was a stark contrast to think of the cold and bitter conditions he and the army were in at Valley Forge.  It's a place I'd love to go back to and explore even more when we have more time and the temperatures aren't in the teens.  Shaun enjoyed making Ella a militiaman with the bookstore apparel and play guns they had on display.  What am I going to do with him?




We enjoyed seeing our good friends and appreciated their hospitality!  Other than our trip to Valley Forge we also enjoyed good movies and visiting at the Bonacci home.  Yeah for friends and great historical places.
