Mother's Day Trip to PHL


Spent a wonderful week in Philadelphia reaping the rewards of motherhood with Casey and Nick. Two-stage flight from SMF was fun--got to sit with airplane pilots both times. Got picked up at the terminal about 1:00 am; joy, hugs and kisses all around. Then, shopping at H&M, dinner and drinks at Vietnam--superb. Nick got VIP tickets to the "Cezanne and Beyond" at PMA for Casey and I, then off for late taco lunch when Nick got off work. Spent the rest of the day watching the gardeners and their lovely garden grow. Nick made mint juleps; group BBQ for dinner. Spent a great day at Morris Arboretum--enjoyed "Summer Palace" structure by P. Dougherty there. Yummy lunch at a place whose name I forget but the sandwiches were memorable! Drove all around the Park and nearby Philly neighborhoods, had drinks, appetizers and duck watching at Valley Green. Thurs flight got cancelled--bad weather in the mid-section--was rebooked for 6 am Friday. Had a great banh mi sandwich in the Ital Mkt on Thursday; Candace came back and made turkey chili and feather earrings for Casey and I. On the ground at SMF by 1:00 pm Friday! Wow!
