Trip East: Off to Maryland!

Our first destination was to see family and friends in Maryland. Before we actually got there, though, we had a first for Graham -- his first flight in an airplane!! He was thrilled to be at the airport to watch the planes take off and land. He understood that he was riding on a plane, but I'm not sure how much he actually understood that he was flying in the air. Thankfully, he did great on his first flight!
Here's Graham having fun in Pop-Pop's "new" Bug from the 60s!

That Monday, some of Nat's extended family came by for brunch - it was great to see them all! Todd and Chelsie also came by with Joel... My camera was loving the Graham/Joel time so much that I didn't really get any shots of Nat's other family who joined us that day. But aren't the cousins so cute together?!
The piano was a HUGE hit the whole time we visited!

Group shot of Nat's immediate family (and significant others) after dinner! Bridgette, Randall, Joel, Todd, Chels, Gram-Gram, Pop-Pop, Nat in back... and Jackie, Graham, and me in front. We missed having you there, Mitch!!
Our friends the Wileys had us over for lunch one day... it was great to spend a few hours with them, catching up and enjoying each others' company!

A picture was needed of the 7Eleven... we have not seen a single "Sleven" south of VA.
Some of you might not know, but my sister, Mariah, lives with Nat's family! We were able to spend some good quality time with her and Graham loves his "Aunt Riah." One of his favorite things to do with her this time was to go down the stairs and count every single one of them!
Tickle fight with Pop-Pop
Our good friends the Hackenbergs had us over for dinner one of the nights we were in MD... Their little boy Moses has gotten so big! It was fun to have the boys together, and we were thankful for the opportunity to have some quality time with Jeremy and Hannah :o)
