Friday, Pumpcon 2007

It seems that all my pictures (I wish there was more to show) were taken on Friday. Here's what we did that day...

We woke up later than we had wanted, though pretty early for us. It was raining. We were to have breakfasted with a friend, but it's just as well that he forgot all about it—we would not have met up in time. Instead we met up with other friends and had brunch at Sabrina's Cafe's new location. Adam had scrapple:

Scrapple... *shudder*

Gross.

After brunch and on the way back to where we were staying, we received a call from more friends who had just arrived. We met with them, accompanied them during their lunch, walked in the rain, bought umbrellas, walked in the rain some more, and then finally stopped in a coffee shop where we could chat and dry off... and knit:

Afterwards we walked around in the rain some more. Well, I think we made it as far as seven blocks before we all decided that we had had enough. We went back to our friend's place (where we were staying) and had a Wii-party.

Much later, after changing into dry socks, playing WiiSports, and eating a small dinner, we walked to the Best Western hotel for the Pumpcon meet up. I love Philadelphia's downtown/center city area, my old neighborhood. We walked up 18th Street, from Walnut Street to the Parkway, passing Logan Circle where I took a quick snapshot:

Did I mention that it was still raining?

Well, Friday night was fun. Saturday was Pumpcon. Now, Sunday, begins our family-time visits. It's good to be back in Philly. There's never enough time to spend with everyone we want to see.
