This past weekend we took a trip out to New Jersey to visit Brad's parents at their new home. It was wonderful that we were able to be there for the installation service for Brad's dad as the new pastor at their church and meet some of the great people there. The kids had a lot of fun being at Nana and Papa's house and they all did well with the car ride to and from. We took a fun ride out to the ocean (Riley kept asking and asking to go to the beach!). On the way home, we stopped for a few hours in Philadelphia, which is only 30 min from where they live, and saw the liberty bell and independence hall. Here are a few photos from our weekend away!
