Philly Baby...

We just returned from a quickie visit to Philly to see my Nana. We decided at the last minute to make a trip up there to see her, as she was having some health issues. This was her first time to see C & its been at least four years since we saw her last. It was definitely a trip of "firsts", as this was C's first time on a plane. We headed out prepared. Luckily the flight was early and interrupted Little Miss' beauty sleep, so she slept on the way there. We had a lot to do in a very little amount of time. We intended to visit Dutch Wonderland, the towns within Amish Country, New Hope and other Philly sites J had not seen before. Day one was Dutch Wonderland. It was GREAT. Its basically a Six Flags for the 3 & under crowd. C had a blast, by the time that she started enjoying the ride, it was over so she had a royal meltdown after each one was over..what can I say, my child is passionate.

From there we went and gawked at the Amish. Truly interesting people, interesting in the fact that they would rather ignore the fact that they don't have to swelter in the heat after the invention of the a/c, but hey, whatever floats their boat.

That was pretty much all of our first day along with visiting with Nana for the remainder of the evening. The next day we woke up with New Hope on our agenda. Its always a nice relaxing place to walk around.



As always we completely over indulged the entire trip. Way too many Tasty cakes, pretzels, cheesesteaks, water ice's, and Pizza. Seriously...way..too..much. Another Philly trip that was a Major success that left me a little sad to have to leave. I hate to say it but Bucks County is seriously such a beautiful place, visit it any time you get a chance. But I may be biased...I'm just a Philly girl at heart.
