SOOOO, I had this ideal image of how I would caption all of the pictures from our trip but then as I went through all of them I realized that would be almost impossible. All I can say is that we had an amazing summer vacation. Nya and Iylah had the best time and they got to do so many fun and unique things. My sister really had a lot of awesome things planned for us while we were in Maine. Nya totally explored the "sea coast" from top to bottom. My niece and nephew are so darn cute and hilarious!!! We went to all the children's museums (Boston, Portland, Portsmouth) and a few different beaches. The kids went blueberry picking and "candle stick" bowling. We also saw the baby harbor seals get released back into the wild. My sister used to volunteer with this group that rehabs the abandoned baby seals and they told her they were doing a release so we went to see it and it was so great.
We went to my Aunt's house in New York afterwards and Nya got treated like a queen. I do not have a lot of pictures because I stayed home with Iylah, but Nya went to see the Lion King with my mom and Aunt in NYC. She is still talking all about it. They took her out for a fancy lunch in Central Park and then took a pedi-cab out of the park. To top it off, she rode in a limo home.
My mom treated us to the most wonderful resort on our drive back down south. We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge in Concord, NC for 3 days. It was completely amazing and the girls throughly enjoyed themselves. They had an indoor water park and a ton of other child friendly activities. Nya got to sleep in a tent themed bunk bed and she loved every minute of it. My mom took her to the arcade a bunch and bought her just about every item she wanted. She ate donuts for breakfast everyday that we were there because they had a Dunkin Donuts in the lobby. I really don't know if it will be possible to get her back to reality anytime soon.
School starts next Monday, wish me luck!!!
