Philly

Mommy and Daddy headed up to Philly to celebrate Amanda and Alex's Engagement.  The boys stayed with Bubby and Zaide (Bauby M and Zaidy Shelly left the same morning -- coincidence?).

Cubs at Marlins!

Breakfast of champions.

Meanwhile, Mommy and Daddy toured the city where they used to live.  A few years ago, the One Liberty Observation Deck opened.  So, on a whim, they headed up!  It was really a great "tour" of the city, guided by a knowledgeable guy, all while seeing it from a bird's eye view!

Here we go!

Up, up, up -- 57 floors up!

Former student, Hong Pengcheng,
met in the Reading Terminal Market for lunch!

The first evening Mommy and Daddy met up with some old Philly friends (and had such a good time, they didn't take any pictures).  The same happened the next morning when we headed to NJ to meet up with a great Dental School friend, Jen, and her family --- but we did snap a shot of us leaving Jersey!

And, the entire reason for us going to Philly --- the engagement party --- where we celebrated with so many family and friends --- was also picture-less.  Can you believe it?!

Luckily, Bubby and Zaide are much better at taking pictures!  The boys had a wonderful weekend with them.

First there was swimming....

Then there was Jackson's for Dinner!!!

Ending the night with a movie night!

The next day, B & Z, Derek and Josh took Benji to see his first movie, Finding Dory!

Checking out the awesome, reclining, chairs!

Snacked up and ready to go!

Hanging like one of the boys!

Talking it out with Zaide.

Free refills!

As if this wasn't enough of an adventure --- Bubby's keys were accidentally locked in Zaide's car (in Hollywood) before they left for Boca.  Sooooo, the Shermans to the rescue!  Rita picked up the boys and Bubby, while Zaide borrowed their car to go get Bubby's car keys!  The boys had so much fun with Rita and Obbie and we are so incredibly thankful for them taking us in!
