Home sweet home. I had a really nice weekend with my DIL's friends and family. I forgot how much I like Philadelphia. Travel was smooth, Ubers uneventful, food fantastic, walking around lovely. We had some pretty snow showers with big flakes. I felt like I was in a Christmas movie walking around with the lights and snow.
I think I "fixed" the photo problem. Here's a little taste of the trip -- loaded in reverse because that's what it does lol.

 |
| Art neighborhood just a mile from my hotel |

| Cool details everywhere |
I stayed in the across from Independence Hall in a beautiful historic area. Walked down the street and it switched to a happy hipster neighborhood. I shopped vintage, used books, vegan meals, cool coffee shops. So many row home stoops decorated for Christmas. It was really magical.
A few people at the shower recommended I walk to Rittenhouse Square for shopping. It was too crowded and the stores were all big names. It was a good walk, but a bust otherwise.
I brought 3 books and read them all. Everyone was so good.
 |
| Author I heard speak last month. I expected it to be meh, but it was really well written and interesting story. |
 |
| Super short. Little feel good book. |
 |
| Really good suspense. |
I'm hitting the ground running for a switch to Christmas. Baked the 7 day cookies last night and am up to hit Whole Foods when it opens.
We are meeting the builder to discuss the basement details and the fencing later today.
Note to self: REMEMBER IT'S ALL GOOD THINGS
I'm still oscillating between "oh my god" and "this is awesome" with the house. The former is because of all the work we need to do to sell this house and make the move. I hope the visit today will tip me more to the excited side again.
Christmas Monday -- hope the week is a good one for you. Later gators.
