Since the Voegtle clan was all traveling to New Jersey for Joe’s wedding, we decided to make a trip out of it and stay a few extra days to see the city and visit with everyone. Mike has made numerous trips to Philly for work, but this was my first time. On Thursday we traveled into the city with Bill & Doris to see the historic sites, including Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. But the first priority was to get Philly Cheese Steaks from Pat’s per Mike’s recommendation. Normally I would love the opportunity to each lunch outside, but it was pretty cold! We met up with Karen, Greg & the girls for a nice dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. The Philly’s won the World Series that night, so even though we just watched the game from the hotel room, it was kinda neat to be there.
Friday was Halloween and we decided to take the kids into the Children’s Museum, which had been recently moved into a beautiful historic building built for one of the first
World’s Fairs in the US. The kids loved it of course. After lunch we drove over to a new hotel in New Jersey that was closer to the wedding. Here we met up with Tim & Laura and got to meet our nephew Drew for the first time. The wedding was very nice and the reception was at the same location, very convenient. Collin seemed to have fun dancing. He wanted to dance with his cousins, but Sophie just wanted to play “Ring Around the Roses”. He got a little frustrated and said, “No, real dancing”. He did fairly well through dinner considering his dad was sitting away from us at the head table. Sunday was our commute home, much longer than we planned due to airplane delays. Overall, a great trip and we are so happy for Joe & Donna!
