Hello everyone! This past weekend I helped Karen move her stuff from storage in Fredericksburg to her new place in Philadelphia. We went and loaded the Explorer... and I mean LOADED (see below)... on Saturday afternoon and drove up to Philly on Saturday night.

We saw an Oscar Meyer weiner truck at a toll booth on the way there and that was incredibly entertaining. When we got to Philly, we unloaded pretty much all her stuff and then went out to some local bars with a few of her roommates. I got picked on about drinking water and then we went back to the apartment, where we stayed up into the wee hours of the morning chit chatting and singing Bohemian Rhapsody. On Sunday we slept in and then went into the city to walk around, which included a tour of Independence Hall.

The white one on the right is where Karen lives!

It was an awesome weekend and I can't wait to visit again soon! And also, there was an amazing sunset on the way home and I wish I could have gotten a better picture because the ones I got don't capture it very well, but that's what happens when you are driving and taking pictures at the same time. You could tell it was amazing though because I could see other people taking pictures of it... including someone sticking out of the top of a sunroof with their camera. This was not the driver though, just a passenger! :)

What a beautiful sunset!

I can not wait to come to Philly to see all the sights. It sounds like a great time. The only thing is if we go to a bar, I will be the one teased. I only know how to order water. :) Hehehehe.

I believe it.....I went to a wedding with Poopsie not too long ago and we had quite a time ordering at the open bar.

Cindy B--You and I must talk--I think a big road trip is in order for next spring. We'll hit all of the hot spots! (and maybe order a Sea Breeze along the way)
