memorial day

Today we had to say goodbye to the Seymours.  We did make the best of it with the time we had this morning to spend with them.  Bennett snacked and caught up with Alice.  These two make such an adorable pair.

Nick and the kids cuddled on the couch.

Alice and I got together for a selfie.

James, Nick and Bennett played a game called "Monster" of their own invention.

Audrey and I got a pic with our babies.  It was a busy morning.

Leaving was hard but we had a ferry to catch.  None of us have ever been on a ferry before so we were looking forward to the trip across the Delaware Bay to New Jersey.

We were hoping to cut down on some of the driving time we had to do today.  Nick and I felt bad for Bennett because it was going to be a long day in the car for him and thought this would be a nice way of breaking it up.  Bennett wanted to do nothing more than climb stairs.  He threw several tantrums when we would grab him and pull him away.  We got a few stares.

It was beautiful out on the water and I got some nice pictures of the ocean.

I felt like we were on the ocean highway.

Bennett was busy running around and exploring and making friends.

We took Bennett inside for some relief fro the sun.  He took to playing a car racing video game.  It was out of order but he didn't know that.

At the gift shop Bennett found a toy school bus.  He played with it for a while.  And, it seemed like in no time we were across the bay in New Jersey.  The ferry was definitely a cool thing to do.  I am not sure if it actually saved us anytime but it was nice to spend sometime outdoors rather then in the car.

From here on out we spent the rest of the day in the car.  It took us 11 hours to get home today.  We drove by New York City and got to see the new Trade Center from afar.

We did stop to eat lunch and dinner at a park to let B walk around and play. Overall he did really well and I am proud of my little man for being such a good boy on such a grueling car ride home.
