I’ve made it a goal to be better at keeping up my blog. My problem is everyday I think “I will blog tonight,” but I’m not just thinking about my blog during the day. I’m also thinking about the book I’m recently reading (which I don’t seem to keep updated on here very well either) and I can’t help myself I just go straight to reading and think “I’ll blog later.” Then I get tired after reading and go to sleep instead. And it would be lying to say I’ve been a little obsessed with the whole last Harry Potter movie being released (AWESOME - by the way. I have to see it again soon or I might lose the will to go on.) So, now I will try harder to devote time to this blog at least once a week instead of once in a great while.
Since I last blogged about my oh so fun filled life I have been to Philadelphia, PA; Mystic, CT; and Palmyra, NY. Shilo and I went to visit Philly (or better known on the east coast as Wayne) and his family. We got to meet his new baby and get to know his wife better. It was a very fun weekend. Philadelphia is a fun city, not too busy but of course not little either. Here are a few of the places we saw during the weekend:
The LIberty Bell
Benjamin Franklin’s grave
A Real Philly Cheesesteak
In the Italian Market
Along With A Pizza
The Rocky Statue
... And The Famous Steps on the way to the art museum.
I don’t think anyone was really there to go to the art museum
A view of the city from the top of the steps
The building straight ahead is the Philadelphia City Hall. On the top is a statue of Benjamin Franklin and when the building was first built the rule was made that no building should be taller than that statue. Now obviously surrounding buildings are much taller than it, and they say the sports teams of Philly are cursed. (though this isn’t true since the Philly’s won the world series in 2008.) But they do dress up Ben with basketball and baseball jersey’s.
And I thought this was just another interesting find in the Italian Market
