Philadelphia

A few weekends ago we had the pleasure of having some friends from home come visit us here in Princeton. B.J. and Rachel Louws are friends from our hometown/SPU, and James has been good friends with B.J. for quite some time. They were out in Philly for a work conference, and then came and spent a weekend with us. It was great to catch up with them, and we spent an afternoon roaming around Philadelphia. Checked out the Liberty Bell again, Rachel and I visited the grand and large Anthropologie downtown, and we explored the grounds of Ben Franklin’s old house. I am always captivated by the incredible architecture in this city – so many fine and beautiful structures.
