In Philly you don't have to choose! This Saturday we had both. Family was suppose to come visit, and because our niece and nephew are studying the American Revolution in school we thought it would be great to take them to the Constitution Center. It's got some really great interactive exhibits. You can see whether you'd be able to vote in a given state and year, you can wear Supreme Court robes and decide famous cases, and you can be sworn in as President. Plus, they have one of twenty original printings of the document.

We've had a lot going on recently with another move and the impending arrival of Charles Robert Lamm, so we've been more than negligent in keeping up this space fresh. But now that we're mostly settled in our new place we're ready to start writing again and we've got a lot we want to share with all of you.

But before we get into the serious stuff, the cycle of life and all that, we thought we'd start with a little piece in keeping with the initial purpose of this blog: all that is good about Philly.

I guess this is the beginning of our first full summer in America's northernmost subtropical city. I'm also guessing I'll need some new socks by the end of the summer.
