Visiting my dad in Pennsylvania!

Matt and I had a fun get away last weekend! My dad moved to Erie, PA a few months ago and we had been wanting to go see his new place... so my dad was awesome and used his frequent flier miles to get us plane tickets to come see him. Friday we had about a 3 hour delay at the airport, but it was no big deal and we got to Clevland safely. My dad picked us up from Cleavland and drove us about an hour to his house in Erie, PA. Since we were late getting in town we went out to dinner and explored the town the first night. Here is Matt at Lake Erie skipping rocks...Doesn't it look just like the ocean? You can see the Canadian Geese in the background.
Isn't the sunset beautiful? If I lived there, I think I would spend every evening at the beach watching the sunset! So romantic!
The next morning we rented some kayaks and explored the peninsula. Here we are by some lily pads. Matt picked a water lily for me... isn't he sweet! Janie, I love the pig tails... so cute!
Janie (my sister) and I were in a canoe so we could work together to row... we don't have as much arm strength as the boys!
Here's my dad! He has his own kayak. He is going to have so much fun using it and exploring even more around the peninsula! Look how calm the water is...
In the afternoon we drove through New York and into Canada to see Niagara Falls. Isn't it amazing!
Here's the whole family! :) I love this picture! I'm going to order it and put it in a frame.
A rainbow appeared after lunch! We could see both ends and there was no treasure anywhere! The "Maid of the Mist" boat drove right into the rainbow.
Sunday morning we got up early and drove back to Cleavland to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum. Isn't the building interesting?
At the entrance of the museum there were these giant guitars... Here is my dad rocking out on the George Harrison guitar! :)
After the museum we had to head back to the airport. It was a really fun trip and it was great to see my dad since we hadn't seen him in a few months! Thanks for everything dad!

ok you have to tell me all about your trip tomorrow at lunch.

The Foetus: Those who curl up in the foetus position are described as tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. They may be shy when they first meet somebody, but soon relax.

I would agree with all of it but not the tough on the outside part.
