The Past 3 weekends

Todd came to visit this weekend and made me take all these pictures of him...

Here he is infront of the Liberty Bell. He thought it was pretty cool.
Then we went to Independence Hall and he insisted that I take another picture.
Then I was like, I want to get in one! So here we both are at Independence Hall.

Here is the Wissahickon Park. Gregg and I like to go running here sometimes when we are feeling ambitious. It's my favorite place in Philadelphia and is really close to our apartment.
Todd thought it was pretty cool too.

Last weekend we took our first trip to New York City.  We took a bus in on Saturday morning and left Sunday evening.  The train dropped us off at Madison Square Gardens in the heart of the city (or one of them at least). We got off the bus completely disoriented and started walking without a clue where we were.  After 15 seconds we decided we needed to get a map if we were ever going to get anywhere.  We visited some galleries in Chelsea and walked through Grenwich Village (where our hotel was), SoHo and  Tribeca.  We ate bruschetta and basil and parmisian fettucine in Little Italy for dinner and took in the night life at Grenwich Village. On Sunday we went to the Met (!!!) and spent the afternoon in Central Park and strolling through the streets up the upper East side before heading back to Philadelphia.  

Todd is here this weekend, He and Gregg are currently playing Wii baseball on either side of me.  I'm super excited he's here and I know we're going to have lots of great sibling bonding time.  

In other news, Gregg's job is going well, he thinks he is going to really like it especially once he has been there a little while longer. I'm still liking school.  On Wednesday a group from my table have been going out to talk about critiques, etc. Yesterday we got student rush tickets and went to the Philadelphia Opera.    

What $160 will get you in the City- 6x6ft of sleeping space

What Gregg might look like if he were a pregnant student - A pregger Gregger

Do you know the difference between Gregg and a car?  One has a lot of junk in it's trunk and the other is used for driving people around.  

Awwww...

Central Park is pretty much exactly how it appears on TV.  It's a beautiful place.

The great lawn - A great place to be on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Dave and Mallory came 3 weekends ago...

MMmmm...Pancakes!

Mal's first cheesesteak! Not Dave's, he's a pro

Look we're still alive!
Ugliest cake I hope I ever make

Gregg and I have been having some busy weekends recently, First Dave and Mallory came to visit us during the weekend in between our birthdays (Dave's and mine).  We celebrated with the world's ugliest birthday cake, made and frosted by yours truly. Mallory tried to salvage it but too much damage had been done. I also made Morgan's giant pancakes (first time ever with out her supervision) and we took Mallory to get and authentic Philly cheesesteak.  We toured Independence Hall also.  I don't think I will be allowed back anytime soon because for some reason when we visited the original senate hall the lens cap for my camera jumped out of my hand and rolled halfway across the floor, in between the desks of our forefathers. Our tour guide had to crawl across the floor and maneuver her way through desks to retrieve if for me since I was not allowed to cross the red velvet barrier.
