Philadelphia with the Aydelottes

We were on the road again - surprise! We went to Philadelphia, where Judy grew up for Trey's cousin's/Judy's nephew's wedding. Seeing a new place for the first time is always better with Locals to show you around, Philly was no different. I had my own personal tour guide, Jenny my first day there. Judy and her cousin Patty took care of Brooklyn for the day while I had a true Philadelphia experience - Running the Rocky Stairs, eating Pretzels all day, Seeing all of downtown - and the next day Liberty Bell and Constitution Hall, we had WaterIce and of course Philadelphia Cheese-steaks!

We stayed our first 2 nights at Judy's Cousin's home in the city - They were the ultimate hostesses!

Duane, Paige and Brooklyn visit the Youngs!

Brooklyn and I are on the road again. We are back with the Youngs, having a blast -as you will see from the video below. Duane, our good friend and Leah and Cody's brother in law is a technological genius and is working in Chicago right now for a few month so he just happened to come out to Columbus at the same time we came to visit the Youngs! It was so fun to spend time with him and he made this awesome video of our times together! More to come about our trip to Columbus. Right after this we are going to Chicago to see Rochelle and her kids, then to find housing in Valparaiso! Crazy times.
