The City of Brotherly (& Sisterly!) Love- Visit in Philly

I want to say this here for all the world (or whoever reads my blog!) to hear- MY SISTER NIKKI IS A ROCKSTAR!

Nikki started running a few years ago. On Halloween last year she ran a race in Philly and I bussed it down to cheer her on and explore the city with her. It was during that trip that she came up with the idea that for the year of 2016 she was going to run as many half marathons as possible. She made that goal and is sticking to it- she's run 15 half marathons so far and will have 22 completed by the end of the year!! I love her drive, determination, and commitment to running. She traveling all over the country for these races and gets to explore different cities for a day or two at a time. Seriously- I'm so proud of her and I wish that I was as cool as her. 

Well a few weeks ago she ran another race in Philly so I took the bus there once again for a little weekend of sister adventures! We went to Reading Terminal Market (an absolute Philly must) four times in two days, visited the grounds for the beautiful new LDS temple (the 1st in PA) and took in the sights of the city at the Observation Deck. I really love getting to know Philly- its old world charm and architecture fascinate me. And I love that this is becoming an annual trip!
