In early July we traveled to Hanover, PA for a surprise baby shower for our R-MWC friend Katie. We had fun hanging out with her and her husband and a couple other Macon women who came down for the night. The morning before we left, we helped her make a cast of her belly. Katie is quite the crafty person (we all minored in crafting at Macon) and she’s planning on decorating the cast to put in her nursery.
After we left Hanover, we took a tour of Gettysburg. We didn’t have enough time to see the museum but we got to drive around the national park site and visit the cemetery. During this trip we started to play around with our camera a bit and I ended up taking some pretty good pictures.
Two weeks ago we drove down to Philadelphia to meet up with our DC friends Sarah and Chris. Jennie was the only one never to have been to Philly before and she really loved the city! For a large city it never felt extremely big and we LOVED how much history there was just lying around. For example, we were walking in the historical district and we were amazed at how many national or state owned buildings were just open to the public for free. It was really cool to stumble across them as we were walking around.
Of course, we saw the Liberty Bell and visited Independence Hall and Jennie and I went to the National Constitution Center. We also went to Betsy Ross’ house, the waterfront, South Street, Love Park and tried the three major cheesesteak places in the city.
We were also lucky enough to be celebrating our one year anniversary of our DC wedding and it was so awesome to be able to celebrate with Sarah and Chris because they were two of the very small number of people who we invited to our DC wedding.
For a first visit to the city, it was great!
This week we’re headed to Las Vegas to visit another two Macon friends, before moving on to Seattle for my brother’s wedding. We can’t wait!
