Once we brought them down from the roof we took them into our apartment. Our first big Christmas tree was waiting there to greet them.

Gates at the Pennsylvania Masonic Temple
The interior of Independence Hall. This is the room where the Declaration of Independence was created.
Us at Geno's Steaks. We couldn't let Brenna and Colby miss out on a real Philly Cheese Steak. Yummy!

Another Philly must see: The statue of Rocky Balboa in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art
We also took them with us to New York City for the weekend to stay with my wonderful friend Terri Wolfe. It really turned out to be a great weekend because our friends Jamie and Michael Smith were able to come down from Boston and our friend Lauren Steed happened to be in New York for the Heisman trophy award ceremony. We all really had a blast.

Delicious frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity!!!!
On our way to Serendipity we passed this red door. We laughed and said "oh, we're famous!" Turns out we were not the famous Langhams, but we were close. This is Judd's cousin Richard Keith Langham's interior design studio.
Lauren's timing to join us couldn't have been better! She had just gotten engaged! We were so excited to share in her joy in NYC.
Abby,
ReplyDeleteWe loved our visit to Philly! I love the new blog. You're doing a great job adding the pictures along with the posts. That was my first real big trip away from home, and it was great! Thanks so much for having Colby and I there at your apartment and showing us around. Maybe one day we can all take a vacation together to somewhere new! Love you guys!
