No, we're not having rice for dinner.
I had known that he was thinking of visiting, but not sure when. Yesterday, he called and said, "I'm in Pennsylvania - I'm in King of Prussia". Woah! Only about a half-hour away!
The weather yesterday was amazing. Sixty-eight degrees. Ben and his friends Lindsay and Matt went to Philadelphia, had a cheese steak (by the way, Jim's Steaks, which is linked to "cheese steak", does overnight delivery to anywhere in the US), and walked around South Street.
This morning, Tom left before the sun came up. He had to drive to the airport shuttle pickup location.
At 11 a.m., Becky came by and picked all of us up to go get our car. Then, Ben and I took the kids grocery shopping. It was such a contrast to yesterday - freezing cold, sleet and snow, and crazy wind.
Ben's ride home was waiting for us when we got here, and he left around 1pm. Short and sweet!
