2022 Daily Project - The Poconos / Week 18 Hello Olivia Photography

The 18th week of the year is a pretty big deal for our family. Since I was an infant, we’ve been packing up the car (or 80’s station wagon) and taking the 2.5 hour drive west to the Poconos for our annual vacation to Shawnee.

I have no idea how my parents managed to get all their kiddos in one car with everyones stuff and bicycles - but they made it happen.

Amelia was thrilled to finally get out of the car.

After my parents retired to Florida, I bought my own. Villa 64F has been our home away from home for the last 15 years. This year, my mom flew up to join us.

My sister an I loved coming to Shawnee. Being able to run around outside, do activities and have nominal parental intervention was amazing.

And the pool and arcade doesn’t hurt either.

As usual, the trip flew by and tons of new memories were made. Until next year!
