Meanwhile Morgan was invited by Uncle Allen to accompany him and his family on a tour of the Whitehouse! So while Shannan and I were in Phili Morgan was at the Whitehouse. Once she got back from the Whitehouse she spent Saturday and Sunday with some dear friends of ours, Jim and Shari Auldridge and family. Jim and Shari belong to the same church that we attend. They have a great family and we love getting to spend time with them. I work with Jim so we see way too much of each other and Shari is very involved with the mentoring program that Shannan and I participate in.
Shannan and I had a great time. On Friday we ate at an Irish restaurant called Ryan's Daughter. I was really excited to eat there but was a little disappointed. I think that the food would have been wonderful except that it was lukewarm when it was served to us. So that was a little disaappointing but we had bigger and better things to move on to.
We stayed in the square in downtown Phili. On Saturday we had a great Amish breakfast that the Reading Market Terminal.
The Dutch Eating Place
The market actually turned out to be our favorite part of the weekend and we ended up going back to the market Sunday before we left.
We then went to the National Constitution Center where we spent a couple of hours reading and listening. It was interesting and made me more thankful for the constitution and also made me appreciate how unique it was and still is. We then moved on to a quick self guided tour of the historic area of the city. It was a little cold and the wind was blowing so the emphasis was on quick.
Sunday morning we attended church at Tenth Presbyterian Church before heading home.
