Philly Flower Show looks really yummy this year!

14 years ago

I want to go back! I haven't been in years. My oldest was 9 months old when we went. His daddy and I lugged the big guy around everywhere on our back in the baby backpack. Man he was a chunk,he was over 10 pounds when he was born I can't even remember how much he was up to at 9 months,maybe a quarter ton.

They had a big orchid show going on that year, I could kick myself now because I wasn't hooked on orchids yet. AND they had orchid vendors everywhere too! If I only would have known.
