Our family's adventures began on Tuesday, July 5, 2016 when we traveled to The National Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton and on the same day in the afternoon we traveled to Gettysburg National Military Park.  On Wednesday, July 6 we had fun at Knoebels Amusement Park and on Thursday, July 7 we spent the day at CoCo Key Water Resort.  On Friday, July 8 we visited the New England Aquarium and then walked around downtown Boston before a family pool party and cook out.

Here are a few photos from the pool party on Friday.

Cousins conversing:  My younger sister's son and our youngest daughter chatting it up in the hot tub. (Note: Temperature of water was just warm water and not scorching hot, in case anyone was wondering. :) )

This is a photo of 2 out of 3 of my siblings along with lots of guy cousins.  One of my older brothers is on the far left and then my younger sister is next to him.  The rest of the guys around me are my cousins.  I haven't seen my cousin in the white t-shirt next to me in over 30 years!  It was such a great weekend to reconnect with family I haven't seen in awhile and hang out with them! 

Our final destination and the main reason for our travels was celebrating my Aunt and Uncle's 50th wedding anniversary on Saturday, July 9.  What a fun time! We first celebrated Mass on Saturday evening where my Aunt and Uncle renewed their wedding vows and then we had a dinner and dancing that lasted several hours.  Here are just a few photos from the special and memorable evening.
