Our Angel is growing up: Vacation

Sorry I have not posted in a while, but we have been on vacation. I have not had time to upload the pics yet (Will come soon- I hope), but thought I would summerize our trip. We left on Saturday Morning (7/12) around noon and headed to Cleveland. Paige did great on the airplane. She slept for 1/2 of the flight and I was able to watch the movie Penelope. We landed in Ohio around 8pm. When we went to get our car from Thrifty and they were out of cars so they offered us a SUV for the same price. We had to wait a little while to get it, but at least it was fun to drive (And was green). We checked into the hotel and then went to my sister's house. We had pizza and hung out with all my family until a little after 11pm. After spending the night in the hotel, we woke up and went to breakfast around 10:30 AM. Then we spent the rest of the day at my sister's house, swimming and then had a BBQ. It was great for Paige to meet that side of her family and everyone loved meeting her. My nephew, Brady was just adorable- all though quite talkative. We headed to Boston the next morning. A quick flight and then we went to get our car from Thrifty again. We would have had to wait a while again for the car we reserved, and while I tried to get the same kind of SUV, they did at least upgrade us to a Chrysler 300 which was a very nice fancy "Old Man" car. Justin was happy though, but I am not sure I will rent from Thrify again. They were nice enough, but the service was not very good and when you have a baby you do not want to be waiting a long time for your car. We spent the afternoon with my Aunt Trisha, Lyndsi & Max- Then both my grandma & grandpa/Doris came over for a BBQ. We had a great time. The next day we hung out- shopped in downtown Salem. My parents got in late that night and the next morning we all headed to Hampton Beach. We took Paige to the beach for the first time (Of course she was asleep at first) awake and she put her feet in the ocean. It was still pretty cold. They had a great heated pool. We watched a fireworks show that night, but Paige did not like it very much. Too loud. We were in Hampton Beach for another night and then headed to Cape Cod. We went to dinner that night with my Uncle Rick, Aunt Cheryl, Kevin and his girlfriend and my parents/sisters. Paige threw up on Justin and I had to run to Marshalls to get him new shorts/boxers since we were on our way to a concert. I bought him red sox boxers (which he was just so excited about-Not!). We went and watched the Hyannis Sound. It is a group of 12 college age boys who live together for the summer and perform. They were accapela and awesome. The next day was my nana's 80th birthday party. Almost all of the Pidgeon family was there. Even my cousin Chris and his wife Gail who are expecting their first child any day. It was beautiful. We spent the next day shopping and hanging out with my family. Monday we got to see my cousin Patrick and went for a lobster lunch. We also went to the beach. The water was much warmer and Paige didn't want to get up. On Tuesday, we headed back towards Boston. We stopped to shop at Delias where I bought a decent amount of clothes. Then we had dinner at my grandparents house. The next day we hung out and then celebrated Lyndsi & Chelsie's birthdays with a dinner at my aunts house. Thursday we went to the John Adams houses tour and then to Fanuel Hall in Boston. Friday we headed home. Paige did well on the flight again, but Justin did have to get up with her for a little while. Overall- we had a great time. Unfortunetely, my grandma's boyfriend Duke was diagnosed with Lung & Liver cancer. They are not giving him much time. I am glad we got to see him again before he dies, but it is hard to watch my grandma loose the man she has lived with as long as I can remember. Please keep her in your prayers. We are just adjusting to California again. She got used to sleeping with us so we need to break her of that habit again. She is crawling everywhere now and our house needs a lot of help. She also broke her first tooth! I will update with pictures soon.

Here are a few of my favorites. I will add more when I have a minute.
