*Philidephia*

We arrived in Philly on friday night. We stayed at my cousins house, Meredith. She lives there with her husband, Berkley and son, Tanner. Tanner is so darling. He is about 6 months old and just some much fun to play with. Berkley is going to Dental school. They have a darling house on Anne St. and have remodeled it, very nicely. Saturday morning we went into the heart of Phildelphia. We started the day out by going to breakfast at Benny's (short for Ben Franklin). Afterwards we went on a tour of Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Besty Ross' house, Benjamin Franklins grave, the Real World house (Philidelphia), Elfreth's Alley (the oldest operating street), LOVE park, the "ROCKY" steps, Valley Forge and the famous "GENO's" Philly Chessesteak subs. After our adventures of the day, we returned to the home of my cousin and watched the U vs. UCLA game. It was really hard for my cousins to watch because they are Y fans. :) But then our boys sacrificed after and watched the Y game while the girls played Phase 10. Then we went to beddy-bye...
