Top 10 Pictures from NJ

There's no place like home! We just returned to SA after a week in New Jersey. We had a lot of fun and hope to get back before another five years has passed. Since it usually sucks to look at other people's vacation pictures, I've picked my top ten favorites. In no particular order...

Grandma and Grandpa Nault with the kids right before we got in the car to go back to the airport.



We visited Grounds for Sculpture near Trenton with Aunt Barbara and Cousin Jay. It was really fun until the downpour started and then it was only a little bit fun! We were prepared for the rain with raincoats and umbrellas but the grass and paths got pretty muddy. My kids must have grown drought-tolerant from all their years in Texas because they were begging to leave.



On the way home after Grounds for Sculpture, we stopped to play in the fountain at Princeton University. The kids were already wet from the rain (and suddenly didn't care so much!) so they just jumped in with their clothes. Ironically, we had dry swimsuits to change into!



Cousins, cousins, cousins! The kids had a blast getting to see many of their cousins on Mark's side. We got to see 9 of the 18 over the course of the week. This pic is from the Seaside boardwalk on the Jersey Shore with Mariah and Nick.



And we also got to meet some new friends. Mark's good friend from childhood invited us over for dinner. Their son, Brian, is Jacob's age and their daughter, Catherine, is Sarah's age. It was a wonderful evening with lots of laughs, toys, swimming and fun. Here's Catherine and Sarah.
