The whole family joined Tom for a two-week work trip to Philadelphia.

We stayed downtown next to City Hall and spent time in Swarthmore, King of Prussia, and New York.

We took a one-day trip to New York City.

Leaving New Jersey to Ellis Island.

We have this same shot from ~6 years earlier when Michelle was pregnant with Cooper.

Here she is pregnant with Fletcher.

We took the ferry back to Manhattan and walked to the Trade Center site.  We read a Curious

George book where George goes to the top of the Empire State Building

and there is a view of the towers and the Statue of Liberty in the background.  He asked about the towers.

The highlight of the day for Coop though was a water taxi ride from Manhattan to New Jersey.
