30th Birthday Road Trip: Day 2 - Pez Visitor Center

We had fun checking out the Pez Visitor Center. Mom got a Tigger Pez dispenser and I filled up a bucket with a variety of flavors to snack on the rest of the trip.

30th Birthday Road Trip: Day 2 - 2. Weir Farm National Historic Site

The first stop today was Weir Farm National Historic Site, which is the second National Park unit for the trip. Ranger Dan post here.

After walking around the garden areas and seeing the studios, we walked to Weir Pond and did the loop trail.

Mom at the end headed back around the loop saying, "This is the right way, right?" My response, was, "Yeah, if you want to do the loop again."
