Sentinel Motel West Chester

... Tim-Tams which they seemed to enjoy, but we could tell they were not the ORIGINAL from home but still ok to try. We also had meatballs and some deserts which made for a eventful evening.
The night was great and before people were leaving they even has pics on facebook.
We decided to clean up a little so the job would not be as bad in the morning and even slipped in a couple of Seinfeld episodes before sacking it around the 03:00 mark.

... and the fact it wasn't allowed.

So from then on we had to make a move to fit everything in. 1st up was the Lincoln memorial. THe a jog for about 2kms to Arlington cemetry for some more pics.
Then it was a jog back to the Washington memorial. We actually got tix for this as we were there so early....Went up and snapped more pics before then running for the hotel and booking out to get the 12.00 bus back to Phili.

... paranoid with 9/11...these doods are running to the point the Usain Bolt would have no chance against them.
We entered another security checkpoint and again had to remove jackets, watches etc and place through the scanner...
Then we had to stand in a machine (similar to the airport scanners but bigger) and they blew air onto our skin and clothing. This then processed the air collected from us and checked for explosive materials.............Too much in 1 day for me and most ...

Just a quick one to say hi to all my mates from another US city of the revolution (a couple of hundred years ago) now the city of Brotherly Love & soft cheese ! Have spent a few days eating and drinking and catching up with Andy's former life / acquaintances etc - lots of rowing talk and seemingly collecting specimens for a stacked boat at Henley 2010. Back to London on Monday night and work shortly thereafter yeuck.

For the first time this tour, we had shows two days in a row in the same venue. The nice part about that is that you get one day where you don't have to tear down the set, and one where you don't have to build it. This truly is a blessing. I was excited that we were going to be playing Philadelphia for two days, because I had never been to the city before. However, it turned out that our hotel was not in Philly, but across the river in Jersey ...

Dear Family and Friends,
I am making my first entry into a travel blog that Christi and Dan set up last night. We are leaving today for Los Angeles California and tomorrow will attend the Agape Sunday service. I am looking forward to ...

... and honoring those who died and suffered that winter. The National Park Service comes through in achieving this.
If you go, spend the extra cash on a tour, or drive your car through the park. I spent the day on foot exploring the grounds and it was a big mistake. I was there for hours, exhausted from the walking, and didn't get to see everything because I gave up mid-way through my self-guided tour. (As ...

We arrived in Philly by about 3 or 4 pm (dammit. can't remember now) We found our hotel but missed the entrance due to our directions and then it took about 15 to 20 mintues to get back around the block! Traffic was really bad... the streets very narrow and a lot of bumpy cobblestone - but at the same time the city was so pretyy looking that we didn't mind too much. We finally made it to the hotel and registered. We bumped into fellow ...

... house-packing for me has been intense. Through it all, however, I have had an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the trip we are about to undertake. We get to spend 366 days together as a family, giving our children an unvarnished view of what the world looks like. When Jim originally hatched the idea of the trip, it partially arose from a sense of how quickly our ...

... so we head up to Times Square...go into the ESPN zone and the kids play some games...out and over to the largest Toys R Us... The lego area is incredible, built out of legos are Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty and many others. We find cool X-mas gifts and a few goodies for us! We continue on to Rockefeller Center,NBC studies(No, we are not getting up early to be on the today show ...
