After Devin's graduation, we figured since we were already in the eastern half of the country, we'd fly up to Philly so Tom could meet baby Zachy. We got into Philadelphia around lunchtime, so Jon and Sara picked us up at the airport and took us directly to south Philly to sample the ultimate in Philly cheesesteaks at Pat's and Geno's. We shared a cheesesteak "whiz wit" at Pat's and then walked across the street and shared another one at Geno's. My favorite was the Geno's cheesesteak. It seemed jucier. It was so fun for Grandpa Tom Tom and Grandma Joanie to spend time with Lucy and Zachy. Tuesday, Sara drove us to Longwood Gardens in Brandywine, PA on the border between Pennsylvania and Delaware.
The gardens were owned by DuPont. 
It was a beautiful day and the gardens were in full bloom. We had a wonderful picnic
(9.5, again, we have to save room for the ultimate 10) and then explored the gardens. 
Wednesday, Tom got up early and got in a golf game at the first course in Philadelphia, and then we went to downtown Philly to Reading Terminal market and had a yummy lunch. 
We went to the Philadelphia Zoo afterwards
and then we headed to the airport and flew back to Boise :( It was so fun being with all our grandkids. It was a Grandma's and Grandpa's dream trip come true.

That does look very fun! I think it's okay to have more than one 10-rated picnic- so live dangerously:rate one a ten!!
What a fun trip! I think you might have a lot of 9. something rated picnics on your hands. So I'd love to see a good 10 sometime.
Those 9.5s are probably my fault. Personally, I don't believe you can have a perfect 10 picnic without water (a lake, river or ocean). But I will speak to the rules comittee about it.
What a fun trip! I love the Philadelphia Zoo, it's my favorite zoo.
