08/28/08 - Vacation Travels
I flew into Philadelphia airport, to visit Laura's parents and friends in Wilmington, Delaware. Laura and I took a train to New York City for a partial family reunion on her side. Then we drove to Pittsburgh, where both Laura and I visited family and friends. She left after a week of vacation, and I stayed another week before flying out of Pittsburgh. The following map shows all of our travels but the flights (although I have them, to).

Here are our travels around Wilmington. There are several side trips that I didn't draw because I'm not as familiar with the area (and it was tedious!).

These are our travels around New York City. We took a train from Wilmington that took about 2 hours each way - A nice experience. In NYC, we looked at some sites, ate, and took a three-hour boat tour around Manhattan Island. The weather was nice, and the trip was exceptional.

Finally, we were in Pittsburgh. Laura and I were able to see some friends and family. After being busy for the first part of the trip, I chose to relax a bit, which was nice in comparison.
