Back East 2010

Last month for 4th of July we went back east for a week and a half.  My uncle throws a big 4th party ever year, so we all thought it would be fun to go and see them for a couple of days and then go see my sister that lives in Erie Pa. My dad and I flew to Pittsburg to help my sister drive and pick up the rent car.  My wife, sister, mom, Shawn, and Charlee came later that night and we picked them up in Philly.  We went down to the shore for a day and had a ton of fun there went to the boardwalk, a lighthouse that had 204 steps to the top (it was my job to count them).  After the Shore we came back and picked up Jake from the Train Station.  For the Party we had roasted pig, and a ton of other wonderful  food.  My aunt got us all T-shirts that said “Yes, we are one of the Jones’”, all in all we had a fun time. 

The next day we took the time to drive back to my sisters house in Erie. took a long time but the back country of Pa is beautiful, historic Pa used to be call Pens woods and when you go back there you will see why it was called that.  It also has something to do with the charter that was made by the King of England.  Lake Erie is one of the great lakes of this great nation and it was really warm, the lame thing about the place is they only let you swim in a marked out spot.  My dad went in with the key to the car so we had to get the park police to come open the door, my dad and his keys.  Over the next couple of days we went to Niagara Falls, Palmyra, and Kirtland to see the Church history sites this was a lot of fun for all of us.  We had a great time and here are the pics to prove it.
