philadelphia, the city of brotherly love

we decided to make our christmas present for the family
be a trip to philly.
cameron got an interview there, so we decided to all go!

 hazel finding out she has a new cousin

she did well on the 3.5 hour flight, thank goodness
-
we arrived in philly and rented a car
then drove to mt. gretna
where the interview would be
-
we ate at a local place called blue bird inn
then headed to bed to try and sleep before the interview.
-
the interview went EXTREMELY well,
and cam drove us to see the site afterwards
-
it's an in/out patient hospital
ON A FARM!!!!
 the view across the parking lot

then we headed 14 miles to Hershey,
the chocolate capital of the world :)

 that house is made out of choc!!


 long story short,
i used to be allergic to chocolate
and for easter the 4 cousins were at gram's house
and she got everyone a chocolate bunny
and i got...
a grape one.
also everyone got to have choc. milk
and i got.... strawberry :(
needless to say, i grew out of my allergy!!!
 hazel LOVED the tour!!!!!!

 "i love chocolate mom"

then we drove back to philly
and walked around before dinner



 the hat cailly knitted hazel :)

 i stood here 10.5 years ago
when i was a camp counselor in PA
(same pose...on purpose)

 i made cameron stand in front of the "it"
so it would look like
"You know you love CAMERON"
 cam wouldnt put his face in :(

 hazel busy working before bed :)

then after breakfast,
we headed to the Franklin Institute
the science museum



the giant walk thru heart!!!

but we made it, and H was so good.
