the question is not where did we go, but where didn't we go? it was awesome. marley is a world traveler and a city girl deep down...we started in philadelphia, which was a bitter sweet visit. we got to see erin and dane and their little girl mari, who marley loved. but we also happened to be there in time for a memorial service for one of my clients who passed away the day before we got there. it was very sad, but i felt lucky to be apart of those remembering her life. she struggled so hard and hopefully she is now at peace...ben loved philly, he ate his weight in meat, as the pictures show. he is as happy as a weird kid in a meat shop. =) mari and marley (yes that did get confusing) loved each other. mari is 16 months now, so old enough to walk and talk and give marley hugs and kisses. marley just wanted to grab hold. after two nights there we ventured on to queens and tim's house. it was great as well. marley was tim's first experience with babies...i think they really liked each other. we went to the met and did drive by art. actually we were looking for a new photography exhibit, but got lost and managed to speed by some great art. we found the photog exhibit, which was amazing and had a bit of time left over for the modern art, which had a bonus exhibit on the roof, hence the awesome skyline pictures. the roof of the met, i highly recommend it. after that some grey's papaya dogs for ben and tim and pizza for me and off to central park to ride the carousel. marley really loved that. and then to bed for mom and dad. i believe we were all asleep by 8pm, 830pm at the latest. friday was tim's birthday and we went to a famous pizzeria in brooklyn, which was quite literally under the brooklyn bridge. got some great photos there of marley in her bling, which are on the big camara so i will post those later. after lunch we headed out to the poconos. sigh. a big deep breath and relax. devon's wedding was beautiful and the campground was great. just the right note to end the trip on. and marley was, of course, the hit of the party... i'll start with the photos now...i'll try to start with philly, but no promises...oh yeah, and for mom and kirby the photo of the court house is the actual courthouse in law & order...ok, so we are in philly until the picture of tim, marley, and me in front of the met. then it's nyc until you see ben feeding marley a bottle wearing her blingy fake fur coat and monkey hat. that shot starts the poconos...
