Speedlines and Skyscrapers

We had a Madden family outing today! Brian has been asking to see a skyscraper up close and Sean has been asking to ride on the Speedline - so we got both done in one day. The boys were so excited as we stood up on top of the platform waiting for the train to arrive. Those of you that aren't familiar with south Jersey - the Speedline is comparable to an above ground subway. It travels from points in South Jersey, through Camden, over the Ben Franklin Bridge and then to Locust Street in Philadelphia. We got off at 15-16th and Locust and walked down to Liberty One and Two. Again if you aren't familiar with Philadelphia - they are the two tall buildings with all gray windows that standout int he skyline. Of course, on the walk there, the boys had to stop at Dunkin Dounuts - Brian Sr. didn't complain and of course got his coffee fix! As we were walking, Sean stepped on top of a grate in the sidewalk. He looked down and immediately dropped to his knees and crept off to the solid sidewalk. We had to laugh bu he was scared that he would fall through! He has been like that since he was a baby - really shiny floors in stores would scare him because he could see the reflection of the ceiling and he thought he was going to drop down! It was a nice day and we all had a great time.
