Having your own studio and working for yourself has its perks. One of them is being able to hang out with my niece for a couple days in the summer. Last year we hit the aquarium and some of Philly. This year I gave her the option of going to the beach or following our nose through Philly again. Since she still doesn't make the weight requirement for sitting in the front seat, she's designated the back seat on road trips. With our 8 hour trip back to Vermont in mind she opted for bumming around Philadelphia. You don't need to do too much to impress an 11 year old. Not this one anyway. When I asked her on the phone a couple weeks back what she wanted to do while here, she just wanted to walk the dog through the trails and make shmores by puffing up marshmallows in the microwave.
Here are some shots from our day. We hit the park by the Constitution Center with the Carousel. The Duckie Boat was probably the highlight. Hot dogs and a 24 ounce Mountain Dew in the park behind Independence Hall and a tromp through Logan Circle Fountain. We drove home down Kelly Drive with her soaked in the backseat singing the
Greatest Day Ever from Sponge Bob Square Pants. Maybe not the best day ever, but definitely a top fiver!
