In January, I had gone to bed and Adam woke me up to say that he'd thought of some tentative plans for summer vacation. We hadn't talked about it yet and I was asleep, so I said okay and went back to sleep. The next morning I woke up to a spreadsheet on my side of the table. Flight numbers and destinations were all filled out on a calendar for vacation.
From January to June, Adam worked to research and book our vacation. He found the best deals and the best experiences and made sure we didn't miss a thing. He worked hard, and we all were grateful. Many of our activities had to be booked months in advance. For example, we climbed to the crown of the Statue of Liberty because he had purchased tickets at the beginning of February. Some times had already sold out that far ahead. We visited the Statue of Liberty on July 7.
We started vacation on June 28 with a flight out of DFW airport to New York City. This was the kids first time flying, and they were ecstatic. Since Adam was in charge of all the details, he was constantly checking off lists in his head and verifying that we had everything. I was hyper vigilent about the kids, worried that some silly move in front of a TSA agent would derail our vacation. Luckily everything went smoothly on our way out of town.
We landed in New York City and then got a rental car to drive through the Northeastern US.
Our first two nights were spent at a farm in Connecticut. We stayed in a barn loft at Bluebird Farm in Willington, Connecticut. The price was very affordable, but more than that, we were invited to participate in farm life! (If you are interested in staying here, you can click here.

Here's a brief slideshow of our farm adventures.
