Brotherly Love

Melissa surprised the kids and me with a day trip to Philly.  It was so much fun, and such a wonderful opportunity to get to see the city.  Melissa used to live in Philadelphia, so she was an amazing tour guide.  She actually got me to walk the streets in downtown.  We ended up eating a lot through out the day.  Like, a lot...  We started out the day with donuts and pretzels that we found in Reading Terminal Market.  We then walked to go see the Liberty Bell.  And, then we went to get a Philly Cheese Steak from Joe's.  Yummy!  My first real cheese steak and it was so wonderful!!!  Walking back to the car, we realized that we were passing one of the best sushi places, Morimoto, so we stopped in for a second lunch.  Oh boy was it yummy.  Carter wouldn't touch it, but Kinley would not stop eating!  I had to cut her off because she was not sharing with everyone else! :)  

We then drove to IKEA for some retail therapy.  And, then to Whole Foods to cap off our day.

Thank you so much for the wonderful, refreshing day Melissa!!!  You have been an amazing friend to our family during this medical journey.  What a blessing!!!
