Pics in Philly

Here are just some cute pictures we've taken while we've been here:

On Friday me, Ashlee and Che went to the outlet malls. They were great!! I'm so not use to having all this shopping so close!!!

This is us eating lunch at a little mexican resturant we found



One night after work eating at Chilli's

Today we went to Atlantic City. It reminded me of vegas with a beach. There were a ton of casinos! We went to the beach and walked the boardwalk. First we ate at the Rainforest Cafe and then walked the boardwalk and went to all of the shops along there.

Boardwalk

Valley Forge

Me and Annie had a day off work so we decided to go to Valley Forge since it's like 5 minutes away from our house! It was so neat, I didn't know much about it, I know it's sad I didn't know but I'm really bad at history. You can take your own tour so we did that and took some pictures.

Me in the Visitors Center


Huge guns they packed around

Valley Forge

The huts they built and lived in

A memorial built in honor of the people that fought in the war. Me and Annie are the tiny little specks in the center!

This is what the memorial says on the top

The General of the war

The boys work everyday but Sunday's so that is when we go out and do fun things together. Our first fun thing we did was go to "Center City" which is downtown Philly. We went and saw the Liberty Bell and Independance Hall. It was a lot of fun. We went with Ashlee and Tyler, Che and Landon, Austin and Annie, & Josh and Sunny. We have a train station right by our house so we rode that there.

Day 1: 5:00 a.m.

Starting our 35 hour drive to Philly for the summer... We look pretty tired

I tried to take pictures of all of the state signs we drove through and I didn't do that great of a job because I would get distracted and miss them so I tried to take a picture of something that had the state name in it so here we go!

Colorado

Nebraska.... BOOORING

Day 2: 8:00 a.m.
We stayed in a hotel the first night and packed in there with Austin and Annie and Travis, Tyler's brother. We started a little bit later the second day because we weren't going to drive as far. We drove to my sister's in IL to see them and spend a night. It was so much fun, I wish we could have stayed longer!!!

Iowa... about missed that one

Indiana.... definitely missed this one

Illinois

When we got to Laci's we went and picked Bladen up from daycare. I couldn't wait to see him! He was so excited to see me and came running right up to me like he's seen me everyday of his life! It was so good to see him and hear him talk. He is so cute and I just love him to death!
Day 3: 6:00 a.m

We woke up one day 3 and drove the rest of the way to philly, it felt like the longest of them all

Ohio

West Virginia

Finally we made it!!!!!

It was so nice finally making it to Philly! We pulled into our apartments at about 9pm and got into our new home! We live in a suburb of Philly that's called Devon. It's so pretty and is green with a ton of trees and beautiful homes and churches everywhere!

Happy Birthday to me!

Here are some pictures of my birthday! We went and ate at the new mexican resturant in Cedar and they put that big hat on my head and sang to me!
