| Our Philly Photo Album |
Last week we were able to take a little jaunt up to Philidelphia. We stayed with an old mission companion of mine and It was nice to catch up with him and meet his family. We even got to do a little missionary work together just for old time sake. He is the Elders Quorum President so we paid a little visit to a new member in his ward. Apparently his stake is the highest baptizing stake in the Eastern US.
Melissa and I really enjoyed the sites and history that Philly had to offer. We got to see the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, The King Tut Exhibit at the Museum of Science, The Museum of Fine Arts, amongst other things. We had some great Philly cheese steaks and Italian pastry from the Italian Market, but the best discovery was a roast beef sandwich from Nicks. It was so good that I just had to go back twice. Overall, living in Boston and visiting Philly completed a US revolution history lesson for me. Being born and raised in the 50th state did nothing for me history and interest wise, but maybe that was moreso driven by the type of kid I was - more interested in playing outside with my friends.
Philly was fun and a great little vacation from the craziness we are experiencing right now with being 7 months pregnant, having youth conference next month, keeping up with work, (or in Melissa's case transitioning work), and staying on top of a CS class. Its been busy and I still need to get crackin on the nursery...not enough time!!!
