Date Night

Jen and I had rare date night at Spadafora's Clam Bar tonight. Great seafood. Had a great evening!

Rainy Day in New Jerzay ;)

I wanted it to rhyme ;) It has been raining off and on for most of the day today. Took some time to head down and scout out Wildwoods, NJ and then went up to Atlantic City, NJ, took a look around and hit the outlet mall. Here is a pic of my beautiful wife and daughter in one of the shops along the boardwalk back in Ocean City again.

This skinny house is probably an important landmark and I just don't know anything about it. Instead, I refer to it as the very skinny house in Philadelphia. Lol

First Day of Vacation - July 12, 2015

On our way to Philadelphia...Stopped to take a look at the Flight 93 Memorial near Shanksville, PA and  pay tribute to what the amazing 40 women and men did to save so many in DC by fighting back and forcing the plane to be brought down in this rural area. It was nothing short of miraculous!
