trips during April

When I wasn’t feeling well during the past few months and also because of the cold weather, Jake didn’t really get to go anywhere on the weekends other than to grandma’s house. After a few months of hibernation, we finally started taking Jake out on the weekends in April.

Let’s see, we went to the Science Museum in Queens earlier during the month. While some of the more complicated stations were not big hits with him, Jake was into some of the hands on stations which was nice to see. Here is a picture of Jake “unbuilding” something at one of the stations.

During Easter weekend, we also went to Potomac Park in Washington DC, it was a beautiful day and Jake got to ride a pedal boat with Daddy, cousin Michael and cousin Cynthia.
The next day, we all went to Luray Caverns, which is located in Luray, VA, the caverns were first discovered in 1878, and every inch of the formation takes 120 years. Amazing, isn’t it? Being that the caverns are all underground, it was rather disable friendly. Once you get down the initial 70 some steps, the entire walkway which was about 1 ½ miles long was built on flat pavements, so Jake was able to ride in his stroller the whole time. My sister helped carry the stroller while my husband carried Jake down and up the initial steps.

This past weekend the weather was unseasonably warm, we went to Bear Mountain State Park in Bear Mountain, NY. I remember we went there back in 2006, I even wrote about it as one of my first blog entries. So I thought it would be fun to post pictures of Jake during last trip and this trip to the park. Can’t believe how much he has grown, and I clearly have as well.



That is it for now, we do have more trips planned for in May, come back to visit us if you would like to know when and where!
