Father's Day Puppy Road Trip 2009

I still don't know how we did it, but we did it. Samuel, Ethan and I convinced Jennifer that we needed a second dog.

So Samuel and I took a 2-day road trip to Maryland to pick him up. (Jennifer and Ethan, being more car-sick-prone, opted out of the adventure.)

The highlights:

- Giant windmills in Pennsylvania.

- Samuel seeing his first live cows and first live snake.

- Fallingwater.

- Indoor pool at the Best Western in LaVale, MD. Woo-hoo.

- "Back to the Future" on portable DVD player.

- Taco Bell (twice).

- Crossing an old bridge into West Virgina so we could say we visited 5 states (NY, NJ, PA, MD, WV). (Not to mention the old guy we saw at a coffee shop in West Virginia wearing a t-shirt with a picture of a Confederate flag and the words "Git 'er done.")

- Picking up our new puppy, whom we've named Bailey.
