Family Vacation to WV and Pittsburgh

We just got back from our 1st Extended Family Vacation. We left on Friday August 19 and drove down to West Virginia to stay with Bill's Aunt Dolly and Uncle Dave. While we were there we got to see Bill's Cousin Ben and his daughter Lauren and Bill's cousins Kristi and Elaine and their families. Will was really excited for the trip because he was going to get to hang out with the "Big Boys" again (Zach, Dylan, Gabe, and Alex). We had a very nice and relaxing visit with them. We spent the weekend hanging out with the family and then on Monday we became tourists. We went to Oglebay Resort, The Wilds, Idlewild, The Pittsburgh Children's Museum, the Pittsburgh Zoo, and then Bill spent the weekend with his fraternity brothers while the kids and I spent the weekend with my high school friend Laura.  It was an amazing vacation and everyone had a blast.
