Vacation 2009

We just recently returned home from our family vacation. Usually every year we get to go to Florida (Scott has to work some days at the Miami boat show, so we make a vacation out of it), but this year we were unable to do it. We decided to stay a little closer to home. We ended up going to Toledo, OH and Pittsburgh, PA.

The first day we went to the Toledo Zoo before driving to Pittsburgh. Beautiful zoo with an awesome kids area. That night we ate at Joe's Crab Shack. Eli loved it and even got to dance with the servers!

The second day was Sandcastle Water Park. Loved it! Wish the weather would have been a little better so we could have enjoyed more time there. That evening was dinner at Bucco de Beppo....yummy, but huge meals!


The third day was the Pittsburgh Children's Museum. Eli had fun, but we were a little disappointed....nothing like the Children's Museum in Chicago. As we were driving past the Pittsburgh Pirates stadium Scott noticed that the Cubs were playing that evening. Scott immediately got tickets for us. Eli had a ball and Cubs won! He's been singing, "Go Cubs Go" ever since.


Even though it was a shorter vacation, we had lots of fun. Eli really did well staying in the hotels and loved swimming in the hotel pools. We just may need to make a trip back to Pittsburgh again!
