East Coast Trip - Don & Linda |
March 30 - April 9, 2013 |
This was a trip for the two of
us to experience several things. First, .... Don's first born son, Aaron, and his lovely bride Lisa....belated wedding reception in eastern Ohio with Lisa's great family. Second, since we are going east from Texas to enjoy and meet this new and welcoming clan, Linda and I decided to explore parts of Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Washington DC that Don has never seen. Linda was the guide since she has been to some of these historical sites before. |
Day 1.....Easter Sunday in Pennsylvania
From San Antonio to Pittsburgh and driving to Niles,
Ohio
then Barry Rd in Pennsylvania. What a wonderful Easter!
