Over the 4th of July weekend we visited my sister Ashley and her husband, Matt, in Philadelphia. We had a great time seeing the city and watching Drew experience many of his firsts like riding the subway, watching a softball game and playing on a life-size monopoly game piece. Rob even got to experience his first real Philly cheese steak sandwich, which sure was good. Other then getting the croup at the end of the trip, Drew had a great time. He especially loved having four people willing to walk with him wherever he wanted to go. When one of us would get tired, another would pick up where the previous one left off. On the fourth of July, we watched the downtown Philly parade in front of Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence was signed and the Continental Congress met to create the Constitution. We sighted many former presidents like George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and even Abe Lincoln. Then that evening we heard a concert by Sheryl Crow and saw the fireworks in front of the art museum where the Rocky statue and stairs are. Thanks for such a fun trip Matt and Ashley.
