Spring Break part 2 ||Rochester Museum of Play||

The next day, we went to the Museum of Play in Rochester. It was such a fun place and everything was kid friendly and play oriented. I think a 3 or 4 year old would just love it. Amelia didn't know a lot of the characters, but that didn't stop her from playing with everything. 

We found out how to get to Sesame Street!

They  had a mini Wegman's and she loved having her own cart and getting her own fruits. 

Mother Goose's House

Bernstein Bears Land

And her favorite display in the all of the land. 

DUCKIES.

Spring Break 2014

Spring Break wasn't very warm this year.  A lot of our friends headed to beaches down south, but we decided to go north. Since this would *hopefully* be our last year on the East Coast, we decided to head to Niagara Falls. We were going to go all the way to Montreal, but it was just too cold to be walking around all day. 

We drove straight to the falls, and then headed back to our hotel in Rochester. It was such a fun experience,even though we decided not to go to the Canadian side. I know, I know... everyone says the canadian side is better, but the American side is pretty too! I am still not sure why we didn't go to the other side, but we didn't. And I guess I don't know what I am missing. 

Since we moved to NY, buffalo wings have been a favorite dinner for us. I had never even tried any before we moved here, but they are my favorite. I CRAVE them. Weird, I know. 

So while were passing through Buffalo, NY, we thought we should try the restaurant where they first wing was ever made. 

And they were disgusting. Evolution has been kind to this recipe. They were dry, and crispy, and flavorless. 

After dinner, we went to the hotel and played at the pool. Amelia was in pure bliss.

Trekking to Chicago

The end of March, we headed to Chicago. 

Anthony had a Healthcare conference, and I had to go house hunting.

Amelia is starting to be a lot better in the car, so long drives aren't as miserable as they were last summer. We still wanted to break up the 15 hour drive though. We stopped in Toledo, Ohio, and went to their science Center. It was AMAZING. Our science center in Ithaca is pretty fun, but the Toledo one was crazy cool. 

The water area was huge and I am pretty sure Amelia literally (literally) thought she was in heaven.

Trader Joe's made our day

MEXICAN FOOD!! Ithaca has disgusting Mexican food, so we had to find some good eats while we were away.

On the way home, it was not quite as pleasant. We had to stop and give in to the demands of an almost 2 year old. Ice cream and Rice Krispies.

||Easter||

Playing Catch Up::

Easter was so much fun this year. Amelia had a blast finding the eggs, and kept asking us to hide them again. The Easter Bunny left some treats, a movie, and an Easter outfit.

That's the problem with 9:00 church.. Candy for Breakfast

We had a bunch of people from Anthony's program over for dinner. We made our first honey baked ham.. I was so nervous, but it turned out to be a lot easier than I thought. 

We had such a fun group of people. We had a Jewish student, a Buddhist, and a Muslim. It might sound like the beginning of a bad joke, but it was so much fun. We had one of Anthony's best friends, Murat, who is Muslim and completely did not understand the point of the Easter Bunny who hides eggs. And now after trying to explain it, I do not understand it at all either.

It was a good Easter, and I am glad we had so many friends to share it with.
