Family Day Road Trip

So with it being a long weekend and the weather has been incredibly beautiful here in Maryland (little humidity). We decided to venture out today and explore some areas we had not been to. So we loaded up the Suburban, turned on a movie for the 2 little ones and headed west on I-70 towards Hagerstown. We climbed our first mountain here in Maryland, for those of you on the west coast please don't laugh to hard at this part. That's right, a mountain here in Maryland and when we hit the summit it said 985 feet!!! Yep you read that right!! I really tried not to laugh, but well, where we come from, that is just a hill. It was a beautiful drive though and Walter and I are really beginning to enjoy the area more and more. We pulled off at the outlet stores in Hagerstown and browsed around for awhile. Boy the damage I could have done there!! From there we headed north on I-81 towards Pennsylvannia. We stopped in Chambersburg, Pennsylvannia for lunch. The kids were starving by then and loved their lunch. We headed out again, full tummy's and giant chocolate chip cookies in hand and this time headed east on 30 towards Gettysburg. The drive was so beautiful!!! The towns were small and it was rolling hills, farm land and forests. We drove through downtown Gettysburg, which I immediately fell in love with!! I can't wait to go back in a few weeks and hit all those fun, home decor stores I saw. After leaving there, we jumped back on 15 towards home, but took a side detour at Thurmont to find a covered bridge. I have been waiting to see one and take some pictures. So here it is!!






























There was a nice little park there so we let the kids out to play for a little bit. They did not want to leave when it was time because they were having too much fun. Here are a couple of pics of them playing.



























Now to some digi scrapping news. I have finished a new kit and hope to have it in my store at http://www.elementalscraps.com/ by tuesday. I really loved this color swatch and couldn't wait to create a kit with it. Hope you like it. Well until next time!!
