Jersey Girl, Part Deux

 July brought some special family time for Vi.  Our family attended two reunions in New Jersey to visit Daddy's family.  Our trip started out by meeting up with Uncle Bini at the airport in Atlanta.

 The first reunion was held by Grandma's family.  The last time Vi went she was not even a year old.  It was a special visit because she learned how to walk on that trip, as well as meet her extended family in NJ for the first time.  As you can see, she picked up right where she left off with her cousins!  See pictures from the trip in 2009 here.

 Vi had been looking forward to this trip for a while because she got to see the famous Ava (her cousin) who we have been talking about for years since they were too young to remember their first meeting.  The girls had a midnight meeting since our flight got in really late, but they hit it off immediately.  She loved staying at Ava's house and having "big girl" conversations.  She wants to know when we can get on the airplane to visit again.  This particular photo highlights Vi's battle wound from running into a door handle the previous day (on forehead).  Thankfully, we did not need stitches!

 cousins!

 Before heading back down south, we ate some authentically delicious pizza...

 ... and visited the infamous Seaside Heights (aka the Jersey Shore).  Vi was immediately attracted to all of the games.  No Snooki sightings, sorry.

It was a beautiful day at the shore!  We had a great family weekend in NJ and hope to visit again soon since our last visit was 3 years ago.  Thanks to our NJ family for hosting us!
