Visit to Philly

Carol's grandfather manufactured the only manual water pump in Korea prior to and during the Korean war. Carol's cousin found one in Korea so now it is a fountain in front of her uncle's house.

Carol grew up in Philadelphia. Several aunts and uncles still live there. So the kids got to meet lots of uncles and aunts and cousins. We stayed for a couple of days with Carol's cousin, Sandra and her husband Tony before the long trek to Atlanta. The house is a beautiful old english Tudor home with a big staircase that the kids enjoyed going up and down on. This was the first time we let the kids go up and down staircases. They did well - there were no tumbles or spills, though someone was always near by just in case.

We did make a trip into Center City to visit the Children's Please Touch Museum. Wow! The place was a kid's museum on crack AND steroids. It was amazing. The adults were much more into it than CnC.

Colman - King of broken hearts (didn't like the cheesy picture idea)

There was a giant kitchen/grocery store. The food is plastic and probably "eaten" by hundreds of kids. Hmmm, swine flu on your bagel?
