    This was by far one of my favorite vids. I love the culture, diversity, and of course your family. I love how you captured the many stories of Phili besides a “single story” we’ve all known up until now. Can’t wait for more!!!

      Thank you so, so much! This video really meant a lot to us. We were so inspired by the locals we met. We hope that came through in the video. Thanks for watching!

    I stumbled on this channel and Serge immediately looked very familiar but I could not remember where I knew him. I looked at some more vlogs and I saw a video with you in your martial arts school. Serge was my son's martial arts instructor and my son loved your classes, he's 24 now.. Congrats to you and your family and love the content.

    I visited Kensington during my education to become a social worker. It’s very sad how hard they’ve been hit with the opioid epidemic. We walked through and it was unsettling… glad you guys had the option to drive through.

    Carmen! Omg, we're in jersey and considering taking the kids to Philly. My husband was like, 'Why don't you see if that travel blogger you follow has tips?' And of course, here we are! Great perspective on Philly, esp for those of us who live close and have visited the touristy things. Love meeting Chrissy of Philadelphia Experiences. Wow... Gentrification 101. Thank you!

    Awww you guys came to my hometown! My husband and son just went and took a picture with the rocky statue a few weeks ago. A lot of Philadelphians actually don’t take a lot of the guided tours the city has to offer. We kind of just drive past everyday. The market you drove through is called the “Italian market”. Great food! I live a few minutes from there. Glad you had a good time. I aspire to travel and vlog with my family the way your family does. We just went to camelback lodge in the poconos over the weekend and your family came to mind, I watched your video of kalahari and great wolf lodge. God Bless!!

      Ah we’ll have to explore that area more next time! It’s amazing that it looks exactly the same as in the movie still! And yay I’m so glad you’re wanting to travel and vlog also! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 We need more voices in this space so definitely keep doing your thing!

      Thank you! And yes we felt exactly the same way. Hearing about the obstacles Maleek has overcome, the acts of kindness John is doing, Alyssa’s courage and Mike’s passion were so moving to us too.

    If you small towns one of the best small towns in America is Hershey. There is Hershey park, you could spend an entire day doing things in Hershey chocolate world (definitely do the trolly tours) and the hotels I think have water parks. You could easily do 3 days here if not more.

    i am sorry if it hurts you… but any family of colour if becomes successful i get tears of joy in my eyes! It feels so touching. I too am a woman of colour. seeing you guys flying business class, achieving wealth makes my heart proud. once thrashed by suprimacists, now people of non white ethnicities are gaining success by leaps and bounds is remarkable.
    kudos to your hardwork 🙏

    Such great experiences you have found for you and your husband and the GIRLS. I am the family tourist guide mostly. I tried to do that but failed due to cancer aggressively growing in me. But I did make the Vietnam War Memorial and the honors burying ceremony for my dad, and also my mom. Despite my being well enough to do much I did given them what I had planned to do but everyone agreed they said the would do it another time when I could do it. They all knew something was going on with me. So they go out did something’s Or spent time with me. About 3 weeks -4 weeks later I finally got the news and I was stage 3-C. Yeah started with trolley tours which is cheesy but we had done the 3-4 times of year but we often got great tips of which was restaurants and some were not on normal sources. Boy they great food. One was in DC. The Chinese food but few non Chinese couldn’t find it. Well it was done in the basement with one small window where roasted duck hanged in the window with carving board station was. We think people thought was a grocery store. Just Chinese and us in there. So delicious. We told them how we found them. They were surprised. But it proved no matter how cheesy that was can get at least one good tip. We got off where he said would be and got off then before finishing the tour. There wasn’t much left to see. It was a bit of a walk.
    I bet you guys see something that peeks your attention you change course and almost in every “course correction” yielded something else to explore. Both can be wonderful experiences. I love the art you providing the girls. I would be surprised the get a BFA or BAH degrees. They are so special. I would have loved to have them in my classroom.

    Jersey Joe was from New Jersey, hence the nickname JERSEY JOE.

    • @TopFlightFamily
      @TopFlightFamily  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep and South Jersey is in many ways an extension of Philly. Lots of people who consider themselves Philadelphians actually live across the bridge in Jersey bc it’s so close. Lots have lived in both places. Lots of porosity on that state border.

      Our specialty is luxury family travel so we’re not the best resource for that. But just about every other family travel channel on TH-cam covers budget travel! So there’s no shortage of info here! 😀
