Beautiful Philadelphia

I would never forget the summer of 2005 when I went to Philadelphia to meet my beautiful niece. I remember being on the plane looking at the clock every ten minutes, I just wanted the time to go fast and make six hours and a half to be one minute. I wanted to be in Philadelphia as soon as possible to hug my niece; she was only two months.

Finally, I arrive to the airport at 10:00pm and I was looking around to see if there was someone who would pick me up. As soon as I got to the luggage claim to get my bags, I saw my brother and my mom waiting for me with I big smile on their faces. We hug each other and went home so I can meet my niece; I was hoping she was not sleeping since it was very late for her. The moment was approaching and I was more and more happy because I was going to see my niece, but guess what? When I arrived home, my niece was sleeping, so I didn't have a chance to hug her until the next day.

It was around 8:00am when I opened my eyes, the first thing I did was jump out of bed to go upstairs to see my niece. And yes!, she was awake. Finally I had a chance to hug her, kiss her and give her milk. It was so nice because she didn't cry at all, she was very calm, she would only cry if she was hungry or sick.

I didn't wanted to think on the day that I had to go back to California, the time went so fast that I wished to stop the time and make that day very very long. I wanted to stay in Philadelphia to live there, but the weather is so crazy that I don't think I could stand it.
