City of Brotherly Love

Sorry, I don't have a picture to add this post.  Molly and Kalee are asleep and I'm in the lobby on the hotel's complimentary computer station.

We all made it safe and sound and on time, maybe 20 minutes early to Philadelphia.  I met a father and son duo in the airport, heading to Chicago.  They had come to see the College World Series.  I never got their names, but they were glad to come see the CWS, because in their words, "No World Series would come," to them in North Chicago (that's where the Cubbies play at Wrigley, btw).

Our hotel has a complimentary shuttle to and from the Airport, which saves us a bunch of money.  Cabs aren't super expensive, but each trip to and from Philly City Center is $28 + tip.  Our driver name was Omar.  He's quite possibly the most helpful driver I've ever had.  He drove us by the trainstation a couple blocks away, and went out of his way to help us.  When we got to the hotel we found out that Kalee B. was the guest of the day!  Maybe because we're guests of the day, or maybe because the staff here is just the most helpful folks around, I don't know but they've made things great.

Tomorrow's a big day, it starts at 5:30 AM.  It's 12:45 AM and I can't sleep.  Wish me luck.  We'll have to catch our first train at 6:17.
