The main purpose of our trip to Philadelphia was to visit Sesame Place. \u00a0Adam loves Elmo. \u00a0He stops whatever he’s doing to watch each time Elmo’s on Sesame Street (which is way more often than my childhood favorites – I can’t remember the last time I saw and episode with The Count or Grover).<\/p>\n

We signed up to have breakfast in the park with some of the characters. \u00a0This allowed us to get in to the park half an hour before it opened and gave us a reason to get there early to try to beat the crowds. \u00a0As soon as we walked through the gates we saw Oscar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The breakfast was okay. \u00a0Adam enjoyed the scrambled eggs and looking at all of the people. \u00a0He was a little\u00a0leery about the characters, but in general was okay as long as we were holding him. \u00a0He learned long ago it’s easier just to submit to our photo-torture.<\/p>\n

After breakfast we walked around the park a little. \u00a0We took some pictures (surprise) and stopped in the gift shop to pick up a magnet to commemorate our trip (which was last seen being chewed on by Adam in the hotel, I think he ate it, okay maybe not really, but it’s lost).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then we made our way over to see “Elmo’s World”. \u00a0I’d read in some online reviews that it was the most popular show and so we should get there early to make sure we got seats. \u00a0We got there in plenty of time and were actually the second family in line. \u00a0This is Adam’s favorite part of Sesame Street, so he was pretty attentive during the show. \u00a0I think he was a little confused as to why there were so many people watching with us and why Elmo was so big.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After Elmo’s World it was time to get in line for Elmo’s Live Rock Concert. \u00a0That pretty much sums up our day: waiting in line, searching for shade, and taking pictures. \u00a0Considering the little dude is only 10 months old it was exactly what we’d planned.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My only goals for the day were to get pictures with as many characters as possible and for Adam not to get sunburned. \u00a0I think we were successful on both counts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the parade at two o’clock we were all ready to leave. \u00a0It was hot and crowded and we all really needed naps. \u00a0I can definitely see us going back again next summer though –\u00a0preferably not on a holiday weekend.<\/p>\n
