PHILLAY! Bring on the LOVE.

After my stint in NYC visiting Steph with Vivian, I took the Chinatown bus from NYC’s Chinatown to Philly’s Chinatown and met up with Emily who is currently studying at UPenn. It was both strange and kinda fun to be on a college campus again. It was strange because Emily is a Graduate Advisor in the UPenn residence hall, which means she lives amongst a whole hall of freshman as an Residence Advisor essentially. There’s nothing like a bunch of excited/fresh/bright-eyed students …making you feel old. They were a great group though, and I had a ton of fun chatting with them. Hilarious folks.

The day after rain in NYC, Philly was sunny and actually pretty hot in the high seventies. Emily and I took a stroll (a long stroll ;-) ) to the Philadelphia Museum of Art (it was pay what you wish Sunday) and then walked down to the City Hall area. Here are our pictures.

Vacations are too much fun. Kind of makes you wonder why you work….then you realize, you work so that you can go on vacations and afford them!
