On the road again...

*As soon as I unpack my house and move to Florida, Joey is getting potty trained. This is my sign that he needs it, because he hides when he does #2! He found the biggest tree in Independence Hall and took care of business.*
The month of May has been a very exciting month for us. Kevin finally is almost over with his intern year of residency and was able to accumulate some time off in the month of May to do some traveling. Some excursions were planned (Utah, Detroit, NY) others were last minute.


Right after we got back from our week in Utah/Detroit, we found out that my sister's mother-in-law passed away. She was the sweetest lady in the world. Very pure in heart. Jose and Karina (my sister) asked me to speak at the funeral and it was an honor to do so. I don't have any pictures of that for obvious reasons, but it was a beautiful funeral.


On our way back we decided to stop in Philadelphia. I had been there on a school trip while growing up in NYC but it had been a while. Kevin went a few years ago while rotating in MD so it was still fresh in his mind.


*This is right outside Independence Hall (on the back end). We didn't take a tour because it was 11 and the next tour was at 3, so we just walked around, and enjoyed the feeling of Independence and Freedom. This is a statue of John Barry. He is the founder of the Navy so we thought it appropriate to have our own sailor pay his respects*


*Everyone asks how my kids are doing with all this traveling, but actually they are doing great. Emma has gotten used to the car seat and as long as we allow Joey to get his wiggles out, he is a trooper. Why are we going to let children rain on our parade? This is our way of culturing them and getting them used to seeing the world but still remember where they came from. Plus we always make sure to do something for them.*



*Emma was sleeping. Joey was....well, you know*
