A day at the museum

Today was SUCH a beautiful day! The Northeast finally decided to shower me with sun, and it was much appreciated. After a morning of sleeping in and catching up on some tv shows (Jim & Pam have a baby! Soooooo crazy, love the Office) I went to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and met up with my friend Molly. It was nice to just get out and enjoy the city again because it seems like forever since I've spent a decent amount of time away from school or home.

Here are a few photos from the day:

The museum has one of my favorite views of the skyline :)


There was a guy standing out in front of the Rocky statue today that was offering to take peoples photos for them and even had boxing gloves for them to wear? For awhile we thought that he was with this one group of people but it turns out that he was working for tips but we couldn't pass up the chance to get some legit photos haha



Obligatory tourist photo with the LOVE statue for Molly:



City Hall! That's where Keith proposed!


Also in Love park, there were soooo many skater boys! They were all lined up on the ledge to do crazy trick jumps over that bench? Most of them just fell or risked the lives of people that were standing around trying to take pictures haha



After spending some time wandering around center city Molly and I finally found somewhere to have dinner. We settled on Marathon grill because we both knew that we wanted some sort of adult beverage with dinner and it turned out to be really really yummy. I was apparently camera happy today and even took a picture of our food, but I throughly enjoyed my turkey burger (yes those fries were as awesome as they look).

All and all it was a great day to be outside, thank you Philadelphia for the beautiful weather... keep it up please!

Crazy winter

Just in addition to my post about our fun snow adventures I wanted to share this picture from a local news site. There was so much snow here in the city that people were actually snowboarding and skiing down the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art (think of the movie Rocky, those stairs are fairly iconic in the world of pop culture haha). It made me think of those times in Florida when there is a hurricane coming and all the badass surfers sneak past the cops and go out to surf on the huge waves. I'm not positive that is an accurate comparison, but this is a cool picture/idea regardless.
