Books, Trains and Weddings - Oh My

We finished our time in Williamsburg and took a 7 hour ride on Amtrak up to Philadelphia. Max loved it! Train rides are very cool and the snack car is even cooler. It was nice for me to not have to drive that distance and to be able to walk around and even nap

We landed in Philly and into the arms of our family. Dad and Sue were waiting with open arms when we got the the hotel. My step brother got married to a great woman this weekend. The wedding was a smashing success. They made it really personal and there were lots of nice touches that reflected who they are as people. We couldn't be more delighted to have Katrina as part of our family. I know everyone says that but I really mean it. She just fits into our clan like she has always been part of us. The only down side was that it was hot. Really hot. Hotter than it has been this time of year in over 65 years. 100 degrees in the day and down to a cool 80ish in the evening. We have dealt with reality and are focusing the rest of this heat spell in air conditioned museums and swimming pools.

I made reservations for 3 days in Lancaster County for later this week. I am hoping that Michie will get lots of photos of covered bridges and wagons going down the country roads. I am also secretly hoping to go Hershey for a water park and chocolate...of course. Lots of chocolate!

More personal photos tomorrow. Thanks for reading.
