Philly = Cousins, cheese steaks, and our HardRock tradition!

Last Friday we decided to head to Philly to visit Jason's brother Spencer, his wife Linda, and their three kids. We arrived Saturday morning after driving overnight. So after taking some time to rest, the kiddos headed to the park! We spent the rest of the day hanging out and eating Linda's famous sweet and sour chicken... yum!

Sunday: We had a yummy breakfast of pancakes and bacon before we headed to church. We came home and had delicious grilled burgers for dinner then ended the night with a nice walk near a river.
Monday: Time to explore downtown Philly! We got to climb this really neat monument. Olive loved all the fountains and wanted to jump right in (it was about 90 degrees out!).

You cant go to Philly and not try the famous cheese steaks! There are two of the biggest competitors right across the street from each other so we got one of each and split them to compare.

And the winner is....HARDROCK! Jason and I have a tradition of going to a new Hard Rock Cafe on every other wedding anniversary. This was our year and since we found out Jason is leaving on our anniversary and will be gone for 6 months, we decided to go to the Philly HardRock Cafe. This will likely be the only time our kiddos will celebrate with us! :) It was great! We had filled up cheese steaks so we had a brownie sundae which was very yummy! Olive loved the crayons and cup they gave her!

Olive tried the cherry that came on top of our sundae... a few licks later she decided otherwise.
Then we headed back to Downingtown and went to the pool! Olive love love loved it!



Evie gave it a try but wasn't sure what to think!
We had such a great time with our family! It was just what we needed! So grateful we got to spend time with them!
