The Story Of Us

Continuing with our Memorial Day weekend recap.. while we spent Friday in New York  we chilled out at home on Saturday running errands, playing in the backyard.. On Sunday we headed to the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia. one of my favorite things about living in New Jersey is our proximity to so many major cities.   The last time we were there D was two and a half years old and he had had a blast.. It was so interesting to watch D there now and little H navigating his way through the museum his first time.     D now and then After the museum we were meeting up with my cousin and his wife for dinner.. but we were done a little earlier than planned and had an extra hour to kill so we headed to the nearby Smith Memorial Playground which we had visited earlier last year and had loved. another now and then last time the park had been almost empty.. this time the park was over flowing with people.. the day was hot and after...

We spent Christmas Eve walking 5th Ave and checking out all the window displays. We also met with an old friend of mine.. we've known each other since we were twelve I think and it had been a few years since we had met.. and in those we years I had had D and she had gotten married.. so it was wonderful hanging out with her.. even if only for a few hours. we stopped by Grand Central Station's Transit Museum Store and Gallery Annex where they had set up there 11th Holiday Train Show.. D could hardly contain his excitement, he even tried to jump into the display a few times. Christmas Day was spent in the Camden Discovery Museum chasing fish.. And the next day we spent running around in Philadelphia's Please Touch ...
