Great Weekend, Ses-a-me

This Memorial Day weekend, we planned a getaway to Langhorne, PA, where Sesame Place is located. As we had hoped, Tiger loved it. He’s been into more Disney than Sesame Street as of late, but he had a blast. Sesame Place (who’s also aligned with Sea World), is perfectly age-appropriate for him. Although $60 per kid is a bit high to charge, Tiger was effectively “under 2 years old” when we went.

The getaway was perfect, as we drove a bit over an hour to get to Langhorne, then checked our stuff in at the Springhill Suites that we were staying at. I usually don’t rave about a hotel, especially for a chain-hotel that we’ve been at several times before, but this location had everything. It had a playroom for kids, coffee throughout the day, and a very modern and clean room. The best part of it all was that it was an extremely quick walk to Sesame Place (no more than 5 minutes from hotel door to park entrance).

We got to do everything we wanted on this trip, mainly because we were able to go back to the hotel to take a mid-day nap. We saw an Elmo Rocks show, we rode several rides, we saw a parade, took pictures with Elmo and Big Bird, and even got to stay late for the Memorial Day fireworks. Success!

First show of the day! Elmo, Cookie Monster, dancing, music…what more can you ask for?

The kid’s a natural! First time on the net climb, and he was a champ. He climbed the entire thing and even went through a tunnel!

It makes it all worth while when he smiles like this
