Sarah had gotten home from spring break in Georgia, the weather was nice, everyone was in a good mood, so Suzanne went on a shopping and cooking spree. She made this salad IMG_0246 one dish pasta primavera (one dish to serve it in, not to cook it in) IMG_0247 got this chicken IMG_0248 and sushi IMG_0249 and we were ready to have a feast.

Kaylen came and she and Jane posed but first Jane sucked on her straw IMG_0250 then Kaylen looked down IMG_0251 but finally IMG_0252 we got the perfect picture.

Joyce IMG_0253 was back from Middlebury and she and Sarah IMG_0254 IMG_0255 ate the bread as they finalized the plans for the evening. Ben IMG_0256 brought his basketball to the meal. Suzanne IMG_0257 got everything IMG_0258 on to the table so that I could make my food face IMG_0259 and observe the scene IMG_0260 IMG_0261 at the other end of the table while we had an intense discussion classifying families as being either Suck it up or not Suck it up families.

On Sunday, we drove to Philadelpia to the Wyndham IMG_0262 to drop Suzanne IMG_0263 off for her conference while the rest of us drove to Bainbridge Street IMG_0264 to park and then walk to the PhilaDeli Restaurant IMG_0265 which a great sign IMG_0266 but first we paid homage to Isaiah Zagar's work IMG_0267 on the wall. His work is all over the neighborhood.

Once inside, this was the only sign IMG_0268 I saw in the bathroom. Dr Len met us there IMG_0269 and Ben took notice IMG_0270 as Judy IMG_0271 and Jane IMG_0272 posed and then Jane took this picture IMG_0273 of mine while the toast IMG_0274 came and then Ben's turkey burger IMG_0275 Jane's burger platter IMG_0276 and my salad IMG_0277 which looked better without flash IMG_0278 as did the Russian dressing IMG_0279 in the no flash IMG_0280 version. The waitress wouldn't let us take a picture of her face but she did let us take this picture of the back of her shirt IMG_0281

After lunch, we saw a playground in the distance IMG_0282 and after paying homage to Levis'. IMG_0283 IMG_0284 entered the playground IMG_0285 because it has a hoop IMG_0286 which caused Benjamin IMG_0287 to move out of the frame to get the ball from Dr Len IMG_0288 but he passed to Jane IMG_0289 who studied the hoop IMG_0290 before making her shot IMG_0291

Basketball done, we headed down the street recording the pierced tongues IMG_0292 puppets IMG_0293 the cigar IMG_0294 and Moe Fine IMG_0295 before going to Hats in the Belfry IMG_0296 where this woman IMG_0297 sold Ben a hat. But before we could try the hat, Dr Len appeared with a water ice IMG_0298 from Rita's IMG_0299 so we checked out the menu IMG_0300 and Benjamin waited IMG_0301 while they IMG_0302 prepared his chocolate IMG_0303 and Jane's tropical punch IMG_0304 water ices.

Then it was time to look at the hat IMG_0305 so Dr Len tried it on IMG_0306 and I did IMG_0307 while Jane and Benjamin IMG_0308 finished their water ices and we continued on past the store with the Sponge Bob T shirts IMG_0309 and bought Jane these bracelets IMG_0310 and left to get Suzanne but not before we took a picture of Len and Judy IMG_0311 and this gentleman IMG_0312 took a picture of all of us IMG_0313 to record the end of a nice weekend.
