The Fletchers: September 2010

Sightseeing in Philly

We finally made it to Old Philly to see some sights with best friend Ka and her man Clint. They drove up from DC to hang out with us for the weekend! So much fun to see them!

We went and checked out Betsy Ross' house, but didn't take the tour because we are cheap cheap cheap! Maybe someday we'll go inside.

Zoey really really wanted to drink Matt's soda

How cute are Ka and Clint!

Ka tried her first cheese steak sandwich. She didn't like it too much. Granted they weren't that great to begin with. I've definitely had better.

This is Independence Hall. The Declaration of Independence was signed in this room.

So I always thought there was some cool story behind the crack. Something along the lines of it was shot in the Revolutionary War or something. Come to find out it's just a bell that wasn't made that well, cracked and then didn't work. It was the bell above Independence hall for a couple years, but that's it. They didn't even ring in on July 4th. A little bit of a disappointment if I do say so myself.

Washington Square is a park dedicated to the those who died fighting for our country's freedom.

Zoey was such a good sport during the whole day. She just chilled in her carrier for 5 hours. She loves to watch people and smile at them. We even had a couple Grandma stop and talk to her (not us, just Zoey). My little girl is awesome!

I always feel like a little kid standing next to Ka.

Matt's first Day of Dental School!

All of Matt's hard work has paid off. He is officially in dental school. He still has a hard time believing that he got in. The other night we were sitting at the table eating dinner and he suddenly looks over at me and says "Babe! I'm in dental school! I'm going to be a dentist!" He sounded so shocked that I couldn't help laughing. He is really enjoying school and meeting all the other students. I think his quest at school is to convert all of the guys to get into college football (which he is now a huge fan of). I wish him the best of luck in this quest.

He looks like a dentist already,
or at least an assistant!

Playing at the park

Zoey had a great time at the park with Nana D. She loved playing on the teter totter and the swings.

Zoey was a little nervous swinging by herself

She liked swinging with Dad way better!

Zoey has so much fun with Nana D

Our Philly Apartment

Obviously I'm haven't been very good at updating my blog. In an attempt to remedy that I've banned myself from readding for the next two weeks.
Here are a few pictures of our little apartment.
