East Coast Part II

Tons of fun at the Please Touch museum.

Driving a bus, just like his dad.



He definitely preferred the race car.

This is supposedly the keyboard from Big.



Stoko's a driver, too.



All fancy pants. Practically like prom! Which was great for me, as I didn't go to prom when I had the chance in high school. I even wore heels - for the first time in my life! And Boppa had a chance to wear his suit. The suit has sat, unworn, in our closet since we moved to Alaska. (He did have to rent those shiny shoes.) Thanks, Nicole, for lending me your fancy clothes!

The wedding was at a luxurious location called the Rittenhouse.

Almost none of the wedding pictures we took turned out, but we did capture the amazing dessert.



And this, one of the saddest things we have ever seen in our life... dessert wounded soldiers.




This is a cool little statue in Rittenhouse Square. It reads:

The Hour Passes.
Friendship Abides.

Pretty awesome, really. I love the emphasis on friendship and love.

Some fun and tasty chocolate at the Reading Terminal. That is the best smelling terminal on the planet! Especially the chocolate region.

Chocolate!

Another funny Stoko moment took place when we were watching The Hangover with Nate and Nicole on our last night. Stoko had been under the weather that day. He was asleep in Genevieve's sling, head burrowed down in there, while we watched the movie. Alan Garner says, "Hey. You guys ready to let the dogs out?"

Stoko's head pops up, "Who. Who Who. Who Who."

Well, obviously it was pretty hilarious in real life. Forgive us our David Cross moments, as we forgive those who also David Cross others. Back to the blog.

The scene at Reading.

No trip to Philly would be complete without a Philly Cheese Steak Sandy.

They were pretty tasty.
Another view of Nate's workplace. It's the pointy one.

A cool game-like park.

But, be warned. Don't close your eyes for one second, or security will be all over you! They don't like people sleeping in this square. Don't let the whole brotherly love theme fool you!

These Philly Fanatics were all over the place. Philadelphians love their sports!

Farewell Philadelphians!

And onward to DC, by Amtrack.



That's a big shark!

Hi Aunt Jane! Thanks for meeting us for lunch. And thanks for the picnic! It was great to see you!

We had a spendover with Jodasm, Renee, and their little kiddo Eli. Boodah and Stokes especially appreciated having another buddy to play with. Thank you Jodasm, for the spendover and for organizing a gathering at your place! Francisca and Karlton came over, as well as law school friends Casius, Robyn, Monica, Jamie, and Helena. Hooray for seeing dear old friends! Hooray for catching up on everybody's latest exploits and adventures! I especially appreciate the fact that everybody rallied on a Monday night. We're hoping that Team Jodasm will come visit us next summer so we can reciprocate the hospitality!

Lovely adventures! And of course, it's great to be back in beautiful Kodiak!
