23/25 Posts: A Quick Trip to Philadelphia, Part 2

Since Jeremy had never been to Reading Terminal Market, and we were downtown, Becca drove us there for lunch. I think Jeremy and I both had cheesesteaks on the brain! It's a great place to go, so many choices!


Even close to 3 pm, it was still packed with long lines. We chose, instead of cheesesteaks, to eat at this one Jewish deli! So good! We walked around afterwards, looking at the different bakeries and candy shops... and my camera batteries died.

We had nice relaxing evening that night, and hung out more with family the next day. I got to see my grandparents, and my aunt and some other cousins. We left the next day, stopping in Baltimore to see Jeremy's friend Kevin, and his family. They have 3 kids that Charlie also got to play with! He especially had a great holiday, I think, because he got to play with so many kids!

The Final Countdown

In exactly 5 days, our Spring Break begins. I can't even begin to tell you how much I need it. I need some sunshine and a little adventure in an unknown place. To say I've been a little bored here in Lex Vegas....
but where to go? I'd be happy going up north. Visiting family and being in a big city like Philly or New York would be fantastic. I imagine eating all that wonderful food you can't get around here, going to museums and parks and did I metion eating?


But Jeremy's picturing something more like this when he imagines visiting a city. He wants to go somewhere warm.

So let's say we head south. Somewhere warm. We always enjoy going to Charleston... And Savannah....
but I sort of feel like we should go somewhere new. Maybe Nags Head? I went a lot in the summers when I was younger (my dad had a soccer camp there)-- but would it be too cold?

There would be a beach at all three places. Most affordable? Nags Head. Warmest? Savannah. Prettiest? Savannah.

More on the verdict later.

The verdict: First pick was of course Savannah for us both. But with gas prices and all, we needed to go closer. We chose Asheville. More on that later!
