4th of July in the Birthplace of America

On Wednesday we made our way down to Old City again to watch the Philly parade. It's a pretty big deal here. That guy on the bench is supposed to be Ben Franklin. We think the gentleman standing next to him might be William....


Lincoln visited Philly a few times in his life. Now he visits every year during the parade.



From Danville, CA to Philadelphia, PA, we've attended a few 4th of July parades together


Termini Brothers in the Italian Market made a birthday cake for America....as well as 1,776 cupcakes. It was awesome! Definitely worth the wait in line.





This is my good friend/running buddy/classmate/neighbor Becca. I was so glad she got to meet my sister.


Later that night we got together with some friends for a delicious dinner. It was so relaxing and just another fun piece of our life here to share with Adam and Mel.

The last night we went out to dinner to Steven Starr's new restaurant, Route 6. Adam shared his Bostonian seafood knowledge with us and they treated us to a delicious dinner. It was bittersweet knowing it was the last dinner together but not long before we'll see them in Cali in August.

Sisters.

Brothers.



I love this pic of them crossing Broad Street with City Hall at the end. That little figurine on the top of the tower is William Penn, founder of PA.


And this girl is just demonstrating how dang hot it was while they were here. 


A/M: we had been looking forward to your visit for so long, it was hard to believe how quickly it came and passed. We love you guys and are so thankful you came to see us and our life in Philly. We can't wait to help welcome your baby girl into the world! xoxo
