Phila

We took a trip to Philadelphia this week. What a fantastic time! I have over 200 pictures to prove it! Well, about 60 of them are baseball game pics, so they don't really count.

My nephew is a teacher in Orlando, FL. He had a student this year whose father is a pitcher for the Phillies. Graham asked if the dad could get him tickets for the Yankees games and he did!

My nephew and niece flew in from FL; my brother's family, Jay, and I went down to meet them. We left on Monday morning and arrived at our hotel in Cherry Hill, NJ early in the afternoon. The girls went to the pool. The boys and I went miniature golfing. Then we headed to the ball park.

On Tuesday we went to Phila and visited the Liberty Bell. That was my "must do". We walked to South St. and had cheese steaks at Jim's Steaks. Fabulous!!! I think we might just drive down there for dinner some night! We went back to the hotel for swimming and naps before the game.

Breakfast on Wednesday was at Dunkin' Donuts. My nieces wanted to go to the mall, so we said good-bye to them and headed to the zoo before taking Graham and Bridget to the airport.

It was so great to see my niece and nephew - haven't seen them since Molly's wedding in October. We had a great time and decided to do something like this every year.

The only bad thing was that my son was supposed to go, but something came up at work and he wasn't able to join us. But, we'll make sure he's with us next time!
