To celebrate good grades we took the family to the best buffet in Lancaster. Brandon especially has been requesting we go here and was very happy to have his wish finally granted. You have to get there before 8am however, if you don't want to stand in line. It opens at 5am. We woke at 6:30am (all of us tired). It was worth the wait and 40 some minute drive to get there.
Afterward Mom convinced everyone to stop at the Reading Museum and tour. Randy and I enjoyed seeing a shrunken head, and a mummy. I especially like the forensic recreation of the mummy Nefrina's head (just like they do on the "Bones" tv show). It was very cool. We also were able to walk through the Tiffany Lamp Traveling Exhibit. They had a neat little photo exhibit that Brandon enjoyed since he was working on photography in school in his creative expressions class. We found it funny how all the photos of motion were done with people naked, exposing there backsides. Doesn't everyone run, lift weights, etc. that way???

That night Brandon and I continued the celebration at the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert in Philadelphia. What a fantastic family oriented show. Lots of lights, lasers, singers and band members coming out into the audience, and the Christmas Christian based message in the first half was a nice touch too. Would highly recommend and would definately take the whole family next time.
Love Shady Maple. Yum! Ellen
