Philidelphia Weekend

We took advantage of a the long Labor Day weekend and took a trip down to Philly to visit some college friends. We were able to stay at Meg's place which was an awesome old home near Manyok Street (I may be a bit off on the spelling). I had a fabulous time and was so happy that I was able to spend some time with my old friends. Friday night the girls spent going out on Manyok Street while Miles was awesome and stayed at Meg's with Autumn. Saturday morning we went out to brunch with Miles' old college roommate, and then made our way to a park before a much needed nap time for everyone! We went to Meg's brother's house for a cookout, and then took our time Sunday traveling home. Autumn did awesome on the car ride thanks to nap times and a borrowed DVD movie player. It really did make life much easier.
It was so nice to escape home for a weekend and spend some time with my family and friends. We really did have a nice visit and hope to see Cate and Meg again soon!!

Here's a picture of the girls on Saturday morning before Cate had to leave and go back home.
Here's Miles and Autumn at brunch. In the background you can see a bus out the window. I mention it because the carriage rides with horses would walk up the street and Autumn would climb over Miles to look at them.
Here we are on the Merry-Go-Round at the park after brunch. We're sitting on the bench because Autumn is scared of the movement of the horses. I have no idea why, but she doesn't like any rides where there is an up and down motion. However, being thrown by Miles in the air is a different story...
Play hard...Autumn was very into running around the park. We all enjoyed the fact that she tuckered herself out and we were all able to get a long afternoon nap when we got back to Meg's!
