The host family for the 44th Williams Family Reunion... The Dixon Family...

Momma getting her praise on... Looks like Taneka is judging her... Don't hate cuz!!!

Nique getting to know some cousins he doesn't really know...

Don't go to a reunion and hang out with the same old family members that you see everyday... Get up... meet someone new and build a relationship...

Honoring the oldest member in our family branch... Representing for Lucious Williams.... My Great Aunt... Magnolia Williams!!!

This table alone is why our family is as strong as we are... Know where you come from so you can know where you going!!!

This is how Uncle Edgar looks at every event... no matter what time of the day (LOL)... The man gets his sleep, sitting up, standing up...  It don't matter... Gotta love it!!!



Day 11 (Richmond, VA)

Time to leave Philly...(The City of Unbrotherly Love)... but we have to make one stop first...

The Museum of Art... aka... The Rocky Steps!!!

Mom is making her accent to the top of the steps... Go Momma Go!!! 

She made it to the top... and of course we had to do the Rocky pose!!!

Dominique and I did the steps together, definitely a lot more steps than it looks like on the movie, but well worth it.

Nique having a true Rocky moment!!!

Us posing with the Rocky Statue!!!

Home of the NFL team, Philadelphia Eagles!!!

I have no idea what these crazy people are doing... I am not with them...

Ok, maybe I am with them... We made it to Delaware!

Welcome to Maryland!! We have hit a total of 9 states on this Road trip... Amazing!!!

Who knew Virginia is for Lovers???

So we were a little lost but thank GOD for the iPad... Family here we come!

We made it to the Dixon family home... Time to have a good time with the family!

My aunts and uncle didn't know they would be making an appearance tonight!

My cousin Taneka, sitting with her favorite Aunt!!!

Me and my girl (lil cousin Tara)... She loves taking pictures!!!



Day 10 (Philadelphia, PA)

Waiting for the Valet to bring the truck around so we can get on the road and head to our next destination.

It's so hard to say goodbye to NYC!!!

Last look at the NYC skyline on the New Jersey Turnpike...

The best shot of the Statue of Liberty, from New Jersey... Cause you can not see it from New York, no matter what anyone tells you...

So we finally got a Welcome to New Jersey sign after I gave the wrong directions and we ended up heading back into New York City... We had to pay another toll, which mom wasn't too happy about, but we got to see the Statue of Liberty and the Welcome Sign... (Word to the wise, make sure you don't make any wrong turns on the NJ Turnpike, you will end up paying an extra $10.00)

Crossing the bridge into Philadelphia, PA!!!

Our hotel is right down the street from the Reading Terminal Market... A place to get fresh fruit, philly cheesesteaks, fresh produce, and sweet treats.

Our First Philly Cheesesteaks...

Dominique taking his first bite.... They were good but we aren't big fans of the cheesesteaks...

We walked down to Independence Historical Area to get some information about the City of Brotherly Love!

This is the famous "Independence Hall", the place where the Declaration of Independence was signed.

Dad gets excited when he is surrounded by fellow National Park Service personnel...

Mom, dad, and Nique standing next to the Liberty Bell... We almost got kicked out cause Nique threw a ball and it hit the bell putting that crack in it... lol... Thank God Dad knows some people...

People asked me at one point, why I was going on a roadtrip with my family and not my friends... I couldn't imagine experiencing all these wonderful things in life without this little guy by my side.. I love my brother!!!

Ok, so for everyone that didn't know... What I said about Nique was a joke... The bell was cracked long ago!

We have to make sure that we donate to all of our National Monuments so that they are taken care of for a long time.

Mom ,Nique, and Nelson Mandela!!!

Ya'll didn't know me and the Dali Lama was cool like that huh??

If you come to Philadelphia make sure you stop by The Franklin Fountain for some homemade and delicious dessert!

Mom and I shared the Mount Vasuvious!!! It was delicious!!!
