We had a great opportunity to go back to Philadelphia and visit my sister, Jamie, and her cute family. My brother-in-law, Brandon, is in dental school. He only has a year left. We can't wait to have them back on the west coast. Anyways, they're quite the travlers and showed us an awesome time. They didn't give us a chance to even sit down. We definitely didn't waste any time. I even went to my sister's aerobics classes that she teaches there. She was such a great teacher. I just wish she taught somewhere around here. It was so fun to get to see how they live back there and to see the different culture/lifestyles.
