Ben is 30 + 1

Ben turned 31 yesterday and to celebrate, Elizabeth and I took him to Philadelphia for the weekend as a birthday surprise.  We had a ton of fun in Philly, we hung out with Dan, went around the city, drove over to New Jersey and went to the Aquarium, and even had cheese steaks at Jim's (the best cheese steak place around).  Here are some pictures from our long weekend away.  Happy Birthday Ben!

(This Macy's is super fabulous.  It has the largest organ in the world and is a historic landmark)
