4th of July & Skanda's Visit

The last few days we have had a good friend from Melbourne in town! Skanda visited on his way from Mexico to London.  While he has here he hired a car and hung out.  Friday was 4th of July so Skanda, Lily and Bella visited Nick at the WELCOME AMERICA festival in Philadelphia.

This was a massive street party featuring the Roots and the biggest 4th of July fireworks in the USA! Over 500,000 people showed up!

The next day we headed into NYC for the Celebrate Brooklyn festival with talib kweli headlining, check the photos:

Summer is awesome.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILY!

So the day, last Thursday it was Lily's Birthday and we had a very special day!

It started with a decadent breakfast in the beautiful Ocean City followed by wineries, breweries and dinner at Cape May in South New Jersey.

After dinner we had an experience at the Beach Boardwalk at Wildwood, not the usual beach experience for sure!

Was an amazing day for an AMAZING BIRTHDAY GIRL!

Trend ALERT!! Bacon flavour is now coming in anything. In a store near you

So latest American trend.... BACON!  Bacon milkshakes, bacon flavoured lollies (candy) and now I've experienced Chocolate Covered BACON! ha ha

In my defense it was Lily's idea. Just as well it wasn't fried also!
