Seeing the sights in Philly and NYC
Apologizing in advance...this is (for real) the longest post ever....but there was so much to see.....
 
Constitution Avenue

For those who know Dave....you know he is a true-blue Rocky guru....
in fact...I am pretty sure that is why he moved us out here! We finally found "the" Rocky Balboa statue and the actual stairs he runs up in the movies...now can you just imagine...it was like Christmas in March!!!


Obviously Maddie was just thrilled...stinker!!!

NYC Baby... 
YEA!!!   
I have been literally dying to go to New York since we have been here, and Dave's brother was here on business...so we met him in New Jersey and took New Yorks finest transportation (the bus)...with all three kids and... had a blast!!



Time Square...this was "the" coolest!!

She doesn't realize that she is probably the only 6 year old in her entire school who has actually touched Kevin Jonas's hands!!! She LOVED it!


Ripley's Believe It or Not (Too much cute!)

If I got a nickel for all the stares we received walking through New York with 3 kids I would be way dang rich!!

Hey, it's Matt, thanks for the birthday wishes. We miss you guys, and hope all is going well. Your New York pictures really took me back, and I agree, Times Square is THE coolest place! I love that picture of Chan, Maddie, and Dave flexing their arms by the statue. You guys have the 2nd coolest family I know....
