We had the red eye out of Salt Lake, which left at about 11 pm (MT). That got us into Orlando about 5:30 am (ET), and then our flight back to Washington and transport home, so we got home late morning.
But lo! Vacation was not yet over! We still had a couple more days, so after doing a couple loads of laundry and repacking a little, we loaded up the car and drove to Philadelphia. That's why I entitled this post "home and past home." We came to our current home and then drove to our past home - Philadelphia. We spend our last two nights there going to an old used book store we liked to frequent, going to a Phillies game (they won!), and also going to Eastern State Penitentiary - one of the first penitentiaries in the United States. We'd been wanting to go for a while, but never had the chance. I don't have the pictures right now, but will post some if I get them from my wive's camera. The picture I do have is of the game we went to . . .

Our Sunday in Philadelphia, we went to church at the National Mission sight there, Logos Lutheran Church. I know the pastor - he's a good guy. :-)

Thanks for posting the pictures. Looks like you all had a greatg time. Don't know if you remember Joshua Gale -- he had been an inner city mission worker in Philadelphia, thena foreign missionary and now back in the sates with his family in Ft. Wayne -- again doing inner city missions -- "Just neighbors." Hope to look him up and find out more about what he is doing. Will let you know.

I don't know him personally, but the name rings a bell. And we did have a great time! :-)
