See, we'd had this idea kicking around for some time that we really needed to visit Philadelphia on a Saturday and I'd show Peg and Patty all the wonderful art at the Barnes, and then we'd lunch on Philly cheesesteaks at Pat's and Geno's and then we'd stock up on good stuff at Claudio's Italian Grocery and then we'd come back to DC for a feast.  Well, that was the basic plan and we'd been putting it off for years.  But then Peg went on a business trip to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia a few weeks ago and she got a whirlwind advance peek at the new Star Wars exhibit and she insisted it was time for the road trip ... and so it was that on Saturday, March 15, 2008, off we went to Philadelphia.  Click on the links to join us:
