We made it to Philadelphia

We made it through the 8 hour lay-over in St. Louis, Misery and arrived in Philadelphia at 3:30 am. I think we got to bed at 4:30 am. The kids were troopers - I was very surprised. They carried their backpacks and pulled their suitcases through the airport in the middle of the night. We woke up later that morning and headed off to explore Philadelphia. We had a lot of fun and could have stayed there a lot longer. We went to Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, the US Mint, and so much more. We took a "duck" tour in a truck/boat all around historical Philadelphia. Brett and I had tender feelings of being proud to be Americans. B, J, C, & N loved seeing so many of the places on National Treasure! They also couldn't get over their Dad taking us to a different state (New Jersey) to find a Baja Fresh! (We miss those in UT.)

Stay tuned for more....

Stuck in St. Louis

We are on our way for a family trip to PA, VA and DC...and here we sit... stuck in the St. Louis airport for 5 extra hours with no end in sight. We are ready to go on the rest of the way! We hope we make it on our scheduled tours tomorrow in Philadelphia....we'll see.

Here's what are kids are doing:

*Brennon fjust inished his new book that he started at the beginning of the flight.

*Jessica is asking "When are we getting on the stupid airplane?"

*Cameron has been running relays and hiding behind the airport beams.

*Nathan continues to jump on Brett and follow Cameron as he runs.

Chris, I am sure you are at your destination even if you are still only going 8 mph.

Megan, I bet you're glad you worked today.

Please let us know your airport stays, Megan we already know yours!
