Aldon's Pyramid

Both on the way and on the way back, we stopped at Bingham's for dinner. On the second stop Aldon occupied himself by building a pyramid.

Taking the Boys to Philadelphia

On Thursday, March 14, 2019, I picked Nancy and Meisha up after Meisha's Lyceum class and, with the boys already with me, we headed for Philadelphia. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express right on the Delaware and near the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, seen here.
