Off to Philly!!!

Kate recently had a work trip to Philadelphia. Mace and I stayed home in DC for a few days and then took the train up to meet her on Saturday.
The trip started with a long walk to the Rhode Island metro station. I happened to hear that our local station was closed for the day and rather than risk a shuttle bus, we just walked the 2.5 miles to the metro station.

We arrived at Union Station in plenty of time and used that extra 20 minutes to practice walking. Maceo's getting much better, especially one-handed. He only falls in those instances infrequently. Finally, our train got to the station and they let Maceo and me board first of all! We got a good seat and played with flash cards, read books, and ate some various and sundry snacks.

Eventually, we made it to Philadelphia. Kate was excited to see us, as it's the longest any of us has been apart! We had a lovely hotel room and a great time. Maceo got some time in the pool, and on Sunday, before we left, we spent some time visiting some good friends in North Philly. All in all, a good trip.
