I have done some traveling recently. I went back to Philadelphia for the first time since I moved to California. I took about 50 photos on my actual camera & 250+ on my iPhone. It was the kind of trip where I didn't want to lug my camera around most of the time. The week was hot, but it was great to catch up with friends and explore the city.

That looks like the sort of trip that is good for the soul! Let's hope it's not another 6 years before the next one! :) Great shots!
Viewing the Philly photos was bitter sweet. Although I was happy seeing you show offf your "home town", it also flooded so many memories of your childhood & "Oh the Places we went"...which are now 3,000 miles away..New adventures await you & I couldn't be happier for you! Here's to many more 'vacations'!
Nice to see you being a "tourist" in your own town! Ooooh, Joshua Tree......stunning, isn't it?
I have trip envy. So glad you had a good time. Bravo to you. Bev
Awesome -what I did on my summer vacation- post! You are Law are just the cutest couple ever!
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
What a great endorsement for Philadelphia! Haven't been in years - need to leave VA and drive up to see that great town. super pix.
Guy who's willing to carry your Dr. Seuss bag AND likes babies? And cute? KEEPER! ;-)
Such happy faces and wonderous places to visit, yep you got it right now Julie, its about life too! (Although we both know quilting is awesome!)
Wow, two great trips! I grew up outside Philly and that pizza from the night market looks amazing! I've been to Joshua Tree a few times and it always makes me feel renewed.
It is great to go home again, even for a little while. The photos are awesome. 29 years ago I used to camp at Joshua Tree and repel off the bolders. Thank you for taking me back home for a few minutes. But, new memories are always being made!
