Our prezel fix

Philadelphia and NJ have an amazing Philly prezel factory.  Just love these prezels.

The Pour house

Went to dinner at a high rated burger place.  Enjoyed burgers all the way around and beer for the guys.

Rybread sandwich shop

Eastern State Penitentiary

Our first stop in Philadelphia was the Eastern State Penitentiary.  This was a interesting and enjoyable place to visit, worth the stop.

Michael's arrival

Michael arrived on Wednesday 6/11/14 at National Airport.  He was welcomed by Emmaline, Jim, and MaryJo.  Then they stopped by Alexandria Hospital to surprise Rachel at work.  What a great surprise.

Ready to graduate

Two and a half years ago I Rachel started at Drexel University in Philadelphia to complete my bachelors degree in nursing.  Well the time has finally come to graduate.

Michael still stationed in Oklahoma City took two weeks off to join me for graduation and be with his family for his 22nd birthday.

So we planned a fantastic week and a half trip with Michael and my parents Kim and Cathy.  Emmaline stayed behind for school and her boy friend Richards mothers wedding.

For those asking no we are not bringing the camper.
