Visit to the Cathedral

today our homeschool group took a trip to St. Patricks Cathedral. we received a wonderful tour of the cathedral and were able to attend noon mass (ok, the others in the group were. i spent mass out in the vestibule with a loudly talkative 2 year old...who was complaining about being in vestibule instead of church...but yelled while we were in the church...and complained when we were in the vestibule...you get the picture). anyway, the cathedral has undergone major restorations in the past few years and it is just beautiful.

the kids really liked looking at all the stained glass windows and talking about the story behind each.we finished off the trip with a picnic lunch on city island looking out onto the city of harrisburg.it was a little blustery but the wonderful company made up for the chill.
