family fun and cheesesteaks

Ryan and I spent the weekend in Oxford, PA with a short day trip into Philly for cheesesteaks visiting his cousin Eric. Eric and Katie have an adorable 2.5 yr old son, Blake who loves his Mommy, Daddy, Izzy and teddy. (see below) Oxford, PA is just 3 hours from NY but seems worlds apart. The foliage is beautiful this time of year, the neighborhood has tons of Amish markets and included my first horse and buggy sighting. It's nice to spend a weekend relaxing with family, breathing fresh air and seeing the beautiful sights of country living.

  2. Such great photos, Janie. That pup reminds me so much of the dog my family had when I was little. And maybe next time when you get there, you try a different cheesecake place. I'll ask some friends who live there where they think the best ones are. And I had a great weekend -- I almost wish the week weren't starting yet.
