We took a trip to Tyrone in May to celebrate Roland Miller's 90th Birthday along with Greg, Parker, and Evan. We stayed at the Stony Point Bed and Breakfast in Tyrone - a wonderful place to stay. We were only in Tyrone for a few days but we enjoyed going up to Reservoir Park and a trip to Bland's Park (Delgrosso's).

Even though this time we were only in for only a few days. Here Evan (foreground) and Parker (upper left) ride a very noisy car ride. The boys think that Bland's Park is better than Disneyland. It really is an exceptional value - they can ride any ride as many times as they like.

When we got back to Washington, Evan kept asking his dad where's Piper - he wanted to take her home.
