Labor Day weekend

For Labor Day our little family went back up to Pennsylvania. We decided that we should go back to Longwood Gardens since last time we were rained out. Our friends Rachel and Brandon came with us this time. I am so glad that we went back because the firework show was worth every penny. So thanks mom and dad! We thought it was kind of crazy that so many people came into the gardens with only a little time to spare, but once the show started we understood why. It was awesome!! The best firework show that I have ever seen. We had awesome seats too. The fireworks were being shot off not even a football field away from us, so we were right under them. Words just can't describe how cool they were. Ben also added to the fun by shouting out all of the different colors of the fireworks and then we would say Oh pretty, I like it, again please. It was very cute!

We decided that since we were so close to Philly, that we would go and get a real Philly steak and cheese sandwich. There are two places right across the street from each other that both clam to be the ones that invented the sandwich. So we had to try both, we got some crap from people saying that we could not eat the other sandwich while seating at the competitors seating area. I have to say that we tried them both and I think that Pat's Philly steak and cheese was better than Gino's. After we done eating, we decided to get out of the Ghetto. If you have ever been to South Philly, you know what I am talking about. We went up to see the Liberty Bell. Which was pretty cool. But we didn't spend that much time because we wanted to beat traffic home. Overall, we had a awesome weekend!
