life so far

these past three weeks we have been settling in to our new house and life here in bryn mawr. it's been an easy transition, and we are loving being so close to family and friends. we have been using our time off to explore and do some fun stuff. 

 bike riding through valley forge. 

 enjoying a cool morning on the hammock.

 eagles training camp. so neat. 

 ice cream at "the farm"

iced latte. peach-pear-apricot smoothie. raisin spice vegan cookie. 

work starts monday. heading downtown tonight to enjoy baltimore ave dollar days (basically all the restaurants come outside and give you food for a dollar....need i say more?) and then going to the shore on saturday. 

journey to philly

well we finally made it to philly. it was a long 24 hour drive...yes 24 hours. but alas we made it! here are some pictures of the ride. 

we left west palm with a bang. all of our friends went out for our last dinner together and stefano and i destroyed the "grease beast"...it's a double cheese burger with two grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches, fries, and onion rings all piled high on top of each other. delicious. 

and yes we did have chest pains later that night. 

 getting gas in some state in the middle of the night. we were both over driving at this point. stefano was driving the penske truck with the volvo on the back and shilah and i were following behind him in the jetta. 

every time i looked back at her on the trip she looked so peaceful and cozy. poor thing has such a hard life. ha!

never been so happy to see this sign. 

we made it! woo hoo!
