it's been a while and i hope everyone's enjoying the holiday season. (i love this time of year!) i have so many projects to blog about, but just haven't been able to find the time. now, here i am in Philadelphia and while i force myself to have some downtime, i'll try to catch up and write about my completed projects and this trip.
one of many statues outside of City Hall.
the flight was very quick and pretty uneventful. adam claims we hit some turbulence just before descending into PHL, but i didn't feel anything. we landed mid-afternoon yesterday to find the city gloomy and overcast. which really seems to describe the city well. still, the moment i stepped off the plane, i really felt like i was home again.
avenue of the arts, Broad and Walnut Streets.
we dropped our things at my parent's place (three blocks away from Broad and Snyder streets) and headed out towards our old neighborhood (Rittenhouse Square). it was Thursday, after all, and Thursday means Doobie's. (one item checked off the list!)
waiting for friends outside of Rittenhouse Square.
dinner was cheese steaks (another item checked off the list!) at Gusto. this is a pre-Doobie's custom, you know. (Gusto, not cheese steaks -- we didn't really eat cheese steaks that frequently while we lived in this city.) now, we can spend the rest of the week eating healthier! i'm looking forward to cooking dinner with my mom this weekend. there's really no where else that i can eat Cambodian food as delicious as my mom makes it.
today, i hope to revisit my favorite knitting haunts, namely Rosie's Yarn Cellar and Loop, before we drive out to have dinner with my in-laws. maybe i'll run into you there!?
happy knitting!
