Day 5 & 6 - Philly 2008

We went to the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago in the morning. They had a model train model with a model of Chicago and a bunch of difrent trains running that quinn enjoyed. They had a submarine, some larger trains, airplanes, baby chickens. The best part was the john deer tracktors that he was able to climb in and pretend to drive. Once we left the museum we headed east and hit a lovely snow storm due to lake effect off of michigan into Indiana. It made an area of about 20 miles a complete mess then nothing everything was clear. Once we made it out of the snow the sunset was beutiful off the snow storm. We stayed the night outside Cleavland. There was a lunar eclipse last night that was kinda neat, the skys were very clear so we had a real good view of it while we were driving.


Today we made it into Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is a very hilly state. We saw no flat areas and everything seems to be covered with trees. The town you can tell is real old. The freeways were slower than squat so we took side streets as a detour, very interesting parts of town. Old brick buildings that barely look livable. We shared dinner with the bridal party tonight at a Dave's and Busters. Quinn played some of the video games that gave him tickets to trade in for toys. Between his tickets and the ones everyone kept giving him he got two stuffed animals a dragon and a frog. After the games he help play pool with the rest of us then eventually passed out on our laps. We have the wedding tommorrow night, not sure what we will be doing during the day. There is an ice storm that is suppose to hit the area tonight so far it doesnt look too bad, maybe it will miss us. Heres hoping.
