Over a month!

Wow, sorry guys!  It's been over a month since my last post!  Things have just been CRAZY busy!  Everything has been good (except work...), but I just haven't had any down-time to post anything.  So, I'll do a SUPER fast recap of the last month and include some pictures, and then I'll do another post with some upcoming plans we're excited about!

At the end of April my friend Lindsey came to visit me from Virginia, so we had a ton of fun hanging out all weekend!! The weather was crazy warm when she was here, and one day we went to Longwood Gardens to walk around and enjoy all of the beautiful flowers!  After we were tired from the gardens, we went to the nearby Chaddsford Winery where they were having a Wine and Bacon Fest!  Yes, wine AND bacon... It was glorious. It was such a fun weekend of hanging out!

Lindsey!!! It was so great to see her. 

The first weekend in May was the Broad Street Run!  It's a 10 mile run, and this was McGee's THIRD time running it!  McGee and his sisters have run it together the last 3 years, and this year was the first year with PERFECT weather!!  The first year it was SO hot (which is not good for the runners...), and last year it was raining like CRAZY (not good for anyone), and this year was kinda overcast and slightly chilly (perfect!!).

This is not a picture of Kevin or his sisters... I was too busy cheering to get a good picture of them!

During the middle of May my parents came to visit for about a week!!  It was SO great, and it flew by way too quickly.  We did some fun touristy things (some of them I hadn't done yet!), and we also had some nice relaxing time too. We saw the Jersey Shore, the Philadelphia Zoo, the Art Museum, Eastern State Penitentiary (built in 1829 and closed in 1971... it's a really cool building), and Valley Forge (our house is only like 5 minutes from Valley Forge!).  It was such a great visit!

This was at the zoo!  I forget what this bird was, but it had a little stuffed animal that it LOVED, and it kept carrying it around like it was showing it to us. So cute! 

Four monkeys at the zoo that had their tails intertwined!  It was so cute. 

Eastern State Penitentiary! It was SUCH a cool tour.  

Valley Forge! 

Valley Forge again! 

Last Wednesday my friend Adriana and her boyfriend Adam came to visit Philly!  They were doing an East Coast trip, and I'm so glad they were in Philly for a night so we got to see them! We met up with them at a bar (Monk's Cafe) in town and had dinner, and then we wandered over to another bar (Good Dog) and had some fun hanging out! It was so great to see them, and that evening went by way too quickly!!

Me and Adriana! 

Whenever I walk by City Hall I have to take a picture!  It's too pretty. 

And this weekend (Memorial Day weekend) we went to a Phillies game! Kevin's mom organized a game with the whole family (his cousin even came down from NYC!) to celebrate Kevin's upcoming birthday, and it was so much fun! We met up at the game, and then afterwards we all went over to a Mexican restaurant for dinner.

Here's Kevin walking in front of the huge Philly Phanatic! 

Kevin's Mom arranged for someone from the stadium to come over and lead our section in singing "Happy Birthday" to Kevin, and she was sprinkling confetti on him the whole time. Oh and he got that hat and card from them too since it was his birthday celebration! AND his name was on the big scoreboard, but I didn't get a pic of that... 

Kevin's mom, aunt, and sisters! 

Whew, I think that's all of the big stuff that I can think of over the last month!!  I'll do another post to tell you about some big plans coming up!
