Day 2 and on with Nana Alice and Uncle Paul in PA!


This is the continuation of our June trip 
I am just now in SEPTEMBER! finding time to publish these photos...
oops!




This is where Sally Chrin Thomas comes from :) 


My (Julie) Grandpa has a brother Charles Chrin that is a 
hardworking man around the town of Easton, PA


Checking out the sights of downtown Easton, PA.  
This little town neighbors the Jersey border and is where 
my Mom was born and raised! 

Night out at the circus at the Charles Chrin Community Center


The best part of the circus was when Daddy got up and 
volunteered; it was really funny!
We visited Hershey, PA and went to Chocolate World
and
the Chocolate Museum.  

After the free tour you exit directly into the GIANT 
shop-o-rama

Mary's FAVORITE thing about the town were the
street lamps shaped like Hershey Kisses.

Really tired after our morning excursion, now on our way to 
Lancaster (Amish Country)
We have no pictures of the Amish tour, but we took 
an informative 2.5 hour tour with our very own private guide.

Julie's Great Grandmother's house on 
Warren Street in downtown Easton. 
I remember going here in the summers and thinking
that ghosts lived upstairs.
Meeting Aunt Stella Chrin
(she is one of the 10 Chrin kids)
Uncle Paul and Sally bond over "Cars" on the iPad






Celebrating Mary's 5th birthday early at the
Texas Roadhouse



Tradition is that you get to sit on the saddle while
the servers sing to you. Mary loved that part!
The fun continues with a cupcake party back at 
Nana Alice's house
On our way to Philly so we can catch our plane the next
morning bright and early.  We are elated to have rigged up the 
iPad for the 2 hour drive... only to have it fall off moments after
we shot this picture. 





I pretty much only wanted to hang out in Downtown Philly 
so that I could take a picture in front of the LOVE art piece.

 Goodbye east coast, now we are back to San Diego for the
rest of the summer.... and then to celebrate Mary's 5th birthday on 
July 1st.... stay tuned!!
