We took a short family vacation to celebrate the end of the school year. We booked it prior to getting Nero and the resort we stayed at did not allow pets, so we had to leave him home with a sitter.
We spent the first night in Pittsburgh. We really liked Station Square and the kids really enjoyed the Disney themed fountain show. The inclines were the hit of Pittsburgh for us though.
At the top of one there was a museum and you could see how the incline worked. It was pretty cool.
The view of the city was pretty cool as well:
On the way out of Pittsburgh in the morning we stopped at Round Hill Park. They had a working farm that we got to walk around and we saw 13 piglets and their parents, chickens, turkeys, sheep, and horses as well as the buildings and a garden. It was a pretty neat stop to break up the drive.
Then we were on to Shenandoah Valley, VA. We stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin at the resort we stayed at and they had 2 pools and a large hot tub outdoors, which was pretty neat. The kids got to tie dye t-shirts as well, which they enjoyed. We also went to Shenandoah National Park which was really beautiful. We hiked down to the waterfall, which was a bit longer of a hike than we thought and we were all pretty worn out by the time we got back to the car, but I think it was worth it:
On our way home we stopped and got to spend some time with Aunt Bonnie and go out for crabs. I failed to take any pictures that night, but we had a lot of fun. She actually has a neighbor with 2 foxes and the kids got to pet one!
