Mom & Dad come to visit!

On Halloween weekend Mom and Dad came out for a visit! We had a fabulous time showing them around the city.  We checked out a new restaurant in Conshohocken, plus our standbys - our favorite cheesesteak and Thai places in town. We went up to Valley Forge, and it was still beautiful with autumn colors on the trees!

We spent two days in the city and explored a lot. It was fabulous weather, so we could walk all over...and we did! We started walking through the theater district, then down across South street which has a completely different flavor than anywhere else in town! We got lunch at a local Greek restaurant, and took it to go so we could walk through Society Hill. When Mike are in the city, we never see anyone we know (since we know so few people!) but lo and behold, we ran into Mike's co-worker and her boyfriend, who live in the area!

We also happened across the Physick house, an old old home of Dr. Physick who was groundbreaking in surgery. My parents loved it because some of the dental tools they use were invented by this guy!

Mike and I had such a good history walking tour of the city back in April that we did it again with mom and dad. I'm so glad - we can't remember our facts that well after a few months! We had dinner at one of our favorite restaurants: Amada. Mom and Dad's first tapas dinner! So amazing.

We also explored Boathouse row, and walked by the Penitentiary all the way to the LOVE statue. Luckily mom had ready about the cathedral, so we stopped in and it was incredible.

It was so special to visit and show off our new city, plus, it's good to have some dominoes competition in town! Thanks for a very special weekend Mom and Dad!
