Highlights of Our Philadelphia Trip

#1 Seeing Christian & Stephanie was by far the best!!!  We love you guys and had so much fun spending time with you.
#2 The twins were reunited and had a blast wearing matching shirts and tricking Jonah.  He wasn't sure who was his real daddy.
#3 Finding a memorial with John & Christian's names on it.
 #4 Stephanie & Christian were so good at making Jonah happy and laugh!  He loves you guys.
 #5 Eating a yummy Dutch breakfast (Amish?).  We ate blueberry pancakes and apple french toast.  I'm still dreaming about it.

#6 Driving through beautiful ritzy neighborhoods of colonial mansions, seeing humongous stone bridges, and enjoying the fall leaves once again.

#7 Seeing the oldest homes that still have people living in them.  Pretty fun!

#8 Eating authentic, famous Phili Cheese Steaks at no other than Geno's Steaks.  Tons of famous people have eaten here.  We saw pictures of Oprah and Rocky to name a few.  Well worth the 1 1/2 mile walk, I'd have to admit.  Oh, and the best frozen yogurt en route.
 Look at all the people!!!

 Definitely not a local.  The guy at the window gave John some souvenir pens after getting the picture.  "Whiz with" was definitely the most tasty Phili cheese steak in my opinion.
 #9 Taking a million pictures at the Philadelphia Museum of Art on the "Rocky Steps".  Yes, this is where Rocky ran up the steps on one of his runs.  So inspirational!!!  If we were more cultured we would have actually gone inside the museum, but no, we just enjoyed the view and the many Rocky enthusiasts taking pictures of themselves running up the steps.






 #10 We enjoyed perfect warm, fall weather and enjoyed walking along Row houses.

John isn't actually choking Jonah here, in case you were wondering.



What a fun trip!  Thanks Christian and Steph! We had a blast!
