The first leg of our trip was our drive to PA to visit Great Grandma Zobel. This took 9 hours!
It was pretty crowded, to say the least!

Ring toss!
Little Lux bonded with Great Grandma (and her oatmeal cookies :) )
We also went to Delaware to visit the Fergusons.
Next we drove to WV to visit with the Hakes. We had such a wonderful time!
Little Lux tried real food instead of baby food and never looked back.
Elaina took such wonderful care of Filia and Lux.
We had such yummy food.
Our favorite spot was definitely in the Hake's huge inground pool.

The Pierceys and the Hakes
Leo, Rus, Tert, Filia, Elsie, and Elaina put on a Cinderella play for us. They did a fantastic job. Filia was Cinderella, Tert was the Prince, Rus was the Duke, and Leo was the Footman and King. Elsie and Elaina played the Stepmother, Horse, Footman, and Fairy Godmother.
We got to visit Harpers Ferry next. We stayed for two nights in a rental house there.
Chinese Food in our Rental Place
We hiked the Appalachian trail.
Mater and Pater
Stella, Leo, Rus, Tert, Filia, and Little Lux
After a day of hiking, we came back to the rental place, which had a charcoal grill, so we had an amazing cookout on the patio.
We had two bathrooms and two bedrooms. The boys camped out in the livingroom.
After a couple quiet days in Harpers Ferry, we went to visit the Howards and Chisms.

Tert and Aria were partners in crime! They made $7 selling paper wallets.
The Hakes went to Texas for a week, so we went to their house to 'housesit' for them and spend the rest of our vacation there.
We went to the National Zoo for free. It was really cool!
Little Lux LOVED the zoo and laughed and waved at all of the animals.
We loved the otters.
The bird exhibits were really cool.
Filia loved the Naked Mole Rats.
The orangutans were really neat.
Dad, Leo, and I went to D.C. for a day. We started out by picnicking underneath the Washington Monument. It was so much bigger than I had pictured it!
The World War II Memorial
"They fought together as brothers-in-arms. They died together, and now they sleep slide by side. To them we have a solemn obligation."
