Darryl doesn't like when I try to play catch up on the blog. Honestly I don't like it so much either, but I just haven't made it a priority recently. I'm not going to do to much catch up, but maybe just a few really special things like this....our valentines getaway!
We stole away without the kids the weekend after valentines to the city of brotherly love...PHILADELPHIA~ We had been maybe a couple of times before but usually ended up driving around looking for parking that wasn't out of this world expensive. So this time we planned it out a bit more!
We packed up the kids and took them to Pa Pa & Ma Maw's house for the weekend on friday night and then headed home to a quiet house! We talked and relaxed together, enjoyed a night off of bedtime routine :) Saturday morning, we packed up and swung by psc for some breakfast on the go! Off to Philly! We had a reservation at the art museum to see Van Gogh at 2. Sure glad we left early...traffic into philly. BACKUP! We made it though and had a little extra time to spare to walk boathouse row, only ever saw it from a distance so it was fun to walk the path and see the houses up close. Onto Van Gogh...AWESOME! The show was called UP CLOSE.
So it was alot of nature paintings he did that focused on the detail of nature. It was really interesting and we had a great time. Got a great dinner at the Elephant & Castle, then headed for the hotel! I love staying at hotels :) Our room had a nice comfy couch, so we snuggled up and watched...are you ready for it....WILD HOGS! Funny choice, I know, but it was on tv and we just cracked up! What fun to laugh so much together! The next morning, we went to Reading Terminal Market. SO FUN! Had to get a cheese steak to top it off! Then quick round trip around the historic district, drive by of Penns Landing and back home! We had a great time reconnecting, exploring some new things together, laughing & talking! Here are a few pictures to wrap up!
