Chuck, Beth and I flew out close to midnight on the 14th and arrived in Pennsylvania early on the 15th. We hung out at Diana and Peter's until it was time to check in to the hotel. By 5:00pm Beth and I were in our pajamas and in bed. We both slept until 8:00 the next morning!
We spent the next couple of days at their house playing with Adelaide, walking the dog, and just hanging out.
We saw Beth's suitcase being loaded onto the plane. She was pretty excited!
Blowing bubbles - entertains the baby and the dog!
On the morning of the 17th Peter contacted Chuck and asked if he could go over to their house and let the dog out. They had been in the ER all night with Adelaide and she had croup! That poor girl!
While they went home to sleep, the three of us spent the day around Philly, went to Bob Evans for lunch, stopped in at Shady Brook Farm, saw The Chosen Christmas Special, and looked at Christmas lights. The Chosen was so good, can't wait to see Season 4!
They had Adelaide's first birthday on the 20th when Sharaya and Ally flew in. Even though she was dealing with croup, she was still happy and playing!
And making sure everyone around the table was playing too!
A little unsure at first...
Happy Birthday Adelaide!
(The O in One is a meatball, their nickname for her while she was in the womb.)
The next morning we boarded the train and went into New York for the day. Peter had to work so he dropped Adelaide off at his parents - we really missed them both! It's just not the same when the whole family isn't together.
Angelina's had the BEST pastries!
Central Park. The temps were in the 40's but the wind chill factor made it feel like the mid-30's. It was so cold! Beautiful but cold.
We had to see The Plaza Hotel. The one in Home Alone 2. Beth had been looking forward to this the entire day!
The Rockefeller Christmas Tree, where Kevin goes to ask if he could see his mom just one more time, and they find each other there at the base of the tree. Sniff...
And the moon rising over the Empire State Building.

I enjoyed your post. Sounds like a lot of fun!!!
OH, you left us with a cliff hanger, "but our trip was far from over..." I loved this post, looks like so much fun, except for poor baby Adelaide's croup! But so wonderful to celebrate Christmas and Birthday and see so many wonderful sights! Family time together...what a blessing! Can't wait for the next post!
Hi Cindy~ What a fun vacation with your family!! Adelaide is soooo adorable, and she looks like such a happy baby! I will most likely never go to NYC, so it's so fun to see your beautiful photos!! Looking forward to more!! Hugs, Barb
Oh, how fun that you are taking us through your Christmas trip!! I can't wait for the next chapter!!
Croup is so scary. Glad she was okay. Looks like a fabulous time. Oh Grands grow so fast. Happy 2024 to you and yours.
Oh no, I see Beth in a wheelchair. I hope she's okay.
I think photos where snow is present is the best!
I forgot to mention that I would always panic when my babies had croup. I'm glad she felt. She's getting so big!
