Instead of straight home from Maryland we went north to spend 2 days in Philly. Our first stop was to see Bunny.
Her garden was quite pleasant in the warmth of August. We were very lucky that Philly was having a 'cold' spell while we were there. Like Ohio, Philly has been quite warm this summer.
CJ and Bunny had their required height picture taken. Almost, CJ, almost!
While we visited, Steve made the trek over to the shopping center to pick up cheesesteaks and hoagies. Bunny found her new favorite place and new favorite hoagie - the godfather. I had my old standby of a mixed cheese hoagie, yummy. Steve had a cheesesteak and CJ ate leftover ribs from his dinner on the bay the night before. Everyone was very full and very happy!
After rushhour we headed up to Roxborough where Dad, MaryKate and Furball were waiting on the porch for us. We promptly joined them and soon the porch was full of laughing and fun.
On Saturday Dan and Swati stopped by and we all went out for some shopping and lunch. 
Each year Dan and Swati take CJ shopping to pick out his birthday present. CJ had forgotten that this had not yet happened and was excited to go shopping. For lunch we had cheesesteaks, go figure! CJ found out that fried onions were not a cheesesteak requirement and decided to try one. He liked it!
Steve found a model he liked while we were out. He and CJ put it together that night.
Then it was time to go home.
No matter how many times we do it, it is still a long drive.
This was such fun to remember. That's a really good pic of D&S&CJ.
