We have waited three, long years for the return of Karen. One of the greatest sisters. Ever.
Day 1: Local Lowdown
"fields and fields" of sunflowers.
Rita's. (Karen likey)
A little "maintenance".
Staying up until 4am waiting for Seth to get home from a business trip (because, apparently Averett really wanted to wait up for him).
Day 2:Philly Walkin'
Fun, relaxing run for the sisters.
A walking tour of Philadelphia.
Hit the major sights, all in under two hours.
Barely-potty-trained Hazel didn't have one accident!
Had a s.e.r.i.o.u.s meltdown of both kids at dinner. First meltdown like that, ever. Glad Karen is so patient!
And, by the way, Karen is Hazel's newest BFF.

Good thing those boots were made for walkin'... (Seth-left, Karen-right)
Day 3: Home Time
A little East Coast Primary.
Cookie-makin' with Aunt Karen.
Serious good-times on the deck.
Walking around the 'hood.
Day 4:
Inner Harbor pit-stop.
Tasty, DDD Broadway Diner lunch -mmmmm.
Airport dropoff. Sniff, sniff.
I am so glad Karen came to see me us! I hated dropping her off at the airport. I even prayed for another hurricane to delay her flight (it worked with Steph).
Karen is one of my bestest friends in the world. Not sure if our friendship sprouted out of our years of sharing a room, or the near-death car accident (okay, it was just a minor one), or because she always let me hang out with her and her friends, even though I was 4 years younger, or was it the late-night scare tactics...hmmmm...
She is seriously a shining example of awesome sister, awesome mom, awesome friend, awesome person!
Thanks for visiting Karen!

i had too much fun being there. my face has healed from my run-in with the screen door. seriously, who put that there? it jumped out and major-attacked me. thanks for the fun times. maybe it will only be 36 months by the time i get out there again. ;)
luff ya!
You're trying to tempt us to come visit aren't you with all these fun things and cool people? Well, it worked. :)
I love reading your blog. I also love sisters. My sis just came to town this weekend. Check out my blog for our adventures.
