April Fun

We've had a wonderful April so far! It's been a beautiful spring, and we love the long season out here. It's also been super fun because we've had visitors!

For the Easter weekend, Mike's sister Megan and her husband Matt came out to visit. We had a fabulous time together! We hit the big sights in Philly like Independence Hall and Valley Forge, but we also had a great time trying out a new local cheese steak institution, going to our first hookah bar, and spending Easter Sunday in Baltimore!

Since I've discussed many sights we saw on this blog already, I'm going to let the pictures tell the story. :)
In front of a priceless Tiffany mural in Philly - we had no clue this was there!

Not only did we have one weekend of visitors, we had TWO! My friend Brittany and her husband Eric were in New York for a wedding last weekend, and we were able to take a day trip to the city to spend the afternoon together! It was so special to hang out - and for them to spend one of their vacation days with us! We got to walk the High Line and wander some amazing neighborhoods starting in the Meatpacking district and ending in the Village. Between Eric's subway knowledge and our walking expertise we only needed to bring out the maps a couple times. And, I had a partner in crime checking out some amazing shops - thanks Britt for some amazing girl time shopping! I can't wait to see how the pics turn out. :)

Next up: meeting Mom, Dad, and Brie in Cape Cod on Friday. And I know Mom and Mike will agree with me...my fingers are crossed for some MA lobster!
