Life with the Doodys: Sunny Days...

This weekend we decided to take a last minute trip to Sesame Place in Longhorne, PA. Ryan is obsessed with all things Sesame, especially Elmo, so we knew he would have a blast. It's only about 2 hours from here and the weather forecast was a good one so we figured, why not? We are so glad we went!! As soon as we arrived, Ryan was so excited to point out all the characters and yell out their names - there are pictures of them everywhere! We spent the day Saturday at the park, went on some rides, saw Elmo's World Live, splashed around in the water park area, then dried off and watched the Sesame Street parade. After that, we decided to head back to the hotel for some relaxing time in the pool and then went out for an early dinner. Ryan had skipped his nap, so he conked out early for the night (around 6:45!) Sunday morning we got up and went back to the park for breakfast with Elmo, Big Bird, Zoe, Bert and Ernie. We will just say that Ryan was brave from a distance, but wasn't into seeing any of the characters up close, or having his picture taken with them (even when held by Mommy). But he still had fun seeing them all and yelling out their names and waving to them, as long as they didn't try to talk to him! After breakfast, Ryan decided it was time to dance and was running around, dancing, clapping his hands and stomping his feet, it was hilarious. We went on a few more rides and then headed back to Baltimore. It was a fun family getaway. We realized that we have never gone anywhere, just the three of us, and it was Ryan's first hotel stay. But everything went great and we will definetley be planning more fun family adventures!
