It's Election Day! AHHHHHH!!

I'm (more than) a little stressed about this Election Day!! I plan on having a lot of wine tonight. I'll be heading up to vote in about an hour and a half... I'm hoping to go at an odd time and avoid the lines. 

On to more positive things: This past weekend was great! On Saturday morning we drove up to the KOP mall, because one of my birthday gifts to Kevin was a gift card for a professional shave at The Art of Shaving, and he'd been saving it for a special occasion. So, the charity gala seemed like the perfect time! The shaver guy was seriously like a surgeon, and had some CRAZY steady hands with that straight razor (and he also had an AMAZING beard!). He did the whole hot towel thing too, and it was cool to see the whole process! Kevin left there VERY relaxed and looking amazing! 

Then we ran a few other errands, and then it was time to get ready for the gala! We had SUCH a fun time at the gala!  Einstein Hospital was celebrating its 150th anniversary, so they had a whole theme of "Through the Decades", and each room in this amazing venue was a different time period theme. I tried to take pictures of some of the rooms, but I forgot to take a picture of the BEST room, which was the 1960s-1990s where they had a live band singing AMAZING covers, and there were dancers up on stage and everything. It was a total party vibe. And an Albert Einstein impersonator was also wandering around the gala, and he was SO adorable. Kevin and I had an amazing time!! 

I had to take a picture of City Hall while we walked from the train to the venue! I love this building. 

This room was from 1866 (when Einstein Hospital was founded) to 1920. It was sooo glamorous, and they had these amazing pearl-like strands draped down from the ceiling. 

This was the Speakeasy room (1920s and 1930s)

They called this room Crooners Lounge, and it was the 1940s and 1950s. They had live music in here too (and addition to the 1960s to 1990s room... which I didn't get a picture of).

Me and Albert Einstein! He was so nice and adorable. 

 After everyone had spent a few hours wandering around the party and enjoying themselves (and the many open bars and the amazing served appetizers and food stations), then we were all asked to go to the ballroom for some dancing and a short presentation where they thanked everyone and gave a brief history of Einstein Hospital. It was very inspiring, and made me want to work for such a great organization!  We sat a table in the balcony with some really fun people that Kevin knows from work, and when the short presentation was over, it was time for the dancing!  We headed down for one dance, but then it was already after 10:30pm and time for us to go catch our train home!

The ballroom! 

Kevin!

 

Me and Kevin!

Philly already started decorating for Christmas! So pretty. 

 Sunday we were both feeling pretty exhausted, but we still managed to be semi-productive around the house (and watched a lot of football too), and we also took Guinness for a really long walk around our neighborhood! The fall leaves were looking amazing,, so I had to snap a few pictures. I hope you all had a great weekend!!
