Waddle Pictures

-
Last weekend was the Waddle. It was great! Given what we spent at the actual event on corvette raffle tickets and other raffles, Nuts raised $255 for Basset's in need. He's very proud.

Having experienced it, we'd definitely will do it again, but perhaps plan better. A thousand or more dogs leash free partying in a fenced in area on Saturday, and as many or more parading around Dwight. Here are some of that many pictures we took.

Also in this blog, testing some new photo sharing materials. If you click in the top right hand corner, you can see the full size slide show. It should say Waddle, but only "Wad" shows

Philly Post I

Sorry for all the delays, fotomat - the site that has all the other pictures on the blog has been non-responsive. Took me a bit to figure out another site and get these a little bit cleaned up.

Philly was great. I'll bet we walked 30 miles or more. We saw everything from city hall to Penn's landing on foot - and even parts under the city! Great steaks (see second post), excellent gelato, a chance for me to know Yuengling would be on tap everywhere I went, and oh yeah, there's some amazing history there as well.

Also a chance to meet Robin's cousin, who was great, taking us to dinner our final night.

Much needed vacation, though it also starts a fall where we'll be traveling more than the usual, it was great to relax for a full week.

Enjoy the photos!

The most important Philly post... the Cheesesteaks!!!


Ok, so two places are the most talked about, they are Geno's and Pat's. After a wonderful walk through the Italian village and some interesting parts of South Philly, we eventually found our destination.

Then there was the moment of indecision... Two places, one meal, and way to far to make the walk again. But the problem was solved, when the two of us split a cheesesteak in both locations! Great thinking!















Both were good, but they were up staged by our hotel's recomendation, Jim's. Eviedently, all good cheesesteaks were founded by short named men. We had a vote of 2-0 that Jim's won among the three we sampled, and it wasn't just the beer talking. Great atmosphere, better sandwhiches.
