Weekend Fun

In keeping with my new goal to blog once a week, here goes.

Friday afternoon Rick came home early, around 1:30 pm and we drove to Doylestown to walk around, since it is another quaint touristy town that we have wanted to explore. But we got there at 2, and it was hot and muggy, so we walked for about 1 hour and called it quits.

Saturday we took the commuter train into Philly, to Market East. We bought the Independence Day pass which was $22 for both of us. Next time we will get the round trip only, since we didn't ride the trolley or busses (didn't think we would but just to be sure...) and that would have cost $19 for both tickets. The train was clean. It didn't take much longer, if any, than driving would have taken. Plus we would have had to pay for parking. We wandered around the market (can't think what it's called right now), bought lunch, which was a corned beef sandwich to share and was delicious. Then we just walked the streets downtown for about 2 hours. Quite fun. Went back to the train station and walked around the mall, which is 4 stories. Then hopped on the train and came back home. Forgot the camera and Rick didn't have his phone, so no pics.

Sunday was church. We got a call in the morning asking us to substitute in the nursery, which we did, but made us realize we aren't young anymore. Only 3 kids, quite cute.
I had made banana oatmeal muffins in the morning, so we took those around to do HT/VT. Learned a little more where people in the ward lived.

Monday we got up and did some shopping, I made the pasta salad, and we drove over to the ward picnic at 11 am. It is a Sounderton Ward Memorical Day tradition. We left around 1 because we had invited a couple over for a BBQ later in the afternoon. It was quite hot, so we couldn't use the deck (it also faces west, which is bad), other than for Rick to grill. I guess we did a little, as their little girl was on the grass blowing bubbles, but with the sun beating down, even the table umbrella didn't do much good.

Yup, that was it.
