The last time the boys will be able to ever climb a snow mound this high.  Enjoying the last minute with their friends, Sean and Kristen, a top the neighborhood snow mound.  We lost our sholve in this mound, if anyone finds it I guess it's yours to keep!  Maybe the snow will be melted by summer time:-)

 

Look at all the snow we are leaving behind.  Good bye neighborhood!!

Heading out of town:-(

Goodbye Maryland

Well we have had an awesome stay in Waldorf, Maryland. Johnny enjoyed his nursing assignment. We enjoyed our neighborhood. We all loved visiting our Nations Capital City. There was so much for us to go and do and see. And it all was free!!! Our family will be making a list of our favorite things and posting the list here to help you plan your visit to Washington, DC.

Our neighbors came out to help us pack and say goodbye. We will miss them all, but will stay in touch. We left Waldorf on Saturday, February 20. Johnny and the boys will be staying with his parents for a week waiting on a new Nursing assignment. I, Vicky, will be traveling to South Georgia to stay with my mom while my dad is on a mission trip to Russia. We are hoping by the end of the week we will be heading to Florida. Awhhhhh nice warm Florida. We left Maryland with snow on the ground and arrived in Georgia with the sun shining. I was able to wear flip flops and short sleeves!!! How cool!!!! Or should I say How Warm!!!!!

We would like to thank all who helped us during this assignment. Our family has been very supportive and helpful. Johnny’s recruiter has just been the best. If you are thinking of Nursing Travel please let us know and we will hook you up with the best recruiter in the USA.



Stay posted for more of our exciting travels!!

Our day in Philly !!

Philadelphia Pennsylvania

Philadelphia was a very interesting little city. Philly, short for Philadelphia, served as our Nations Capital City. It houses Independence Hall where our founding fathers meet to sign the Declaration of Independence and write our Constitution. We were able to go into this building and see the rooms where this all took place. 
Philly is also the home of the Liberty Bell, Ben Franklin’s home place and Betsy Ross’ home. We were able to visit Ben Franklin’s printing press and the site of his Philadelphia home, but Betsy’s home closed before we could visit there.

Of course while in Philly we had to have a Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches. It was sooooooo good!!
 
***** Do you know who the oldest person was that signed the Declaration of Independance??*****
Hint: He's pictured on this page.  No!! It was not George Washington.

Statue of Liberty

We finally got to go see the Statue of Liberty !! Last week we had tickets to go to the Crown of Lady Liberty. But due to the snow storm here in Washington DC we had to cancel those. Luckily we were able to get pedestal tickets. With this ticket we were able to climb all the way up the pedestal of the Statue. That in it’s self was way up. Johnny and I both got a little squimish, can’t imagine going all the way to the crown. The snow covered New York sky line was a great site from the Pedestal. We were so glad to have had the opportunity to visit this great American historic site, THE STATUE OF LIBERTY!!!

The Statue of Liberty was a gift to the USA, do you know who gave it to us??

(See end of posting for answer)

Answer : The Statue was a gift form the people of France.
