We've been having fun, and I've been bad on my blogging upkeep!
In the last two weeks, we've really enjoyed the city of Philadelphia. 2 weekends ago, we met with Mike's co-worker and his friends at a local craft beer festival. (Anyone else ever been to a Living Social event? Very cool!) It was a fun time - and the thunderstorms we were supposed to have stayed away for a beautiful summery day, perfect for an outdoor festival. The fest was located in the NE part of Philly - an area we'd never been before. It was very cool/hipster, with lots of fun shops and restaurants. It's definitely on our list of places to check out more in the future!
We lucked out after the festival and got reservations at Amada - one of the best tapas restaurants in Philly. And it lived up to it's name! It's not often I take a picture of food, but I felt the restaurant deserved it...and then I promptly got lost in a food coma and forgot to take any of the best stuff!

This past weekend, there were more city wide festivals going on (apparently, this will happen all summer - yay!), so we went to the Rittenhouse Square festival which actually blocked off major streets of Center City for pedestrians, food tents, and the like.
We also got to a Phillie's game last weekend - I'm officially a Phanatic fan! The mascot is pretty hilarious. The sports complexes of Philly are all in one area south of the city - really well thought out - and we had a great time at the stadium.
Both of these new areas of town required that we used the city metro for the first time. We're pros at the train now, but new to the metro system - more firsts!
Then on Monday, we had our first visitor! My wonderful friend Cassie was in town for a medical convention, and stayed with us on Monday and spent her Tuesday evening with us in the city. We had a great time (come back soon!).
