It's Not Hawaii... but what are you going to do

It was REALLY nice out yesterday, so instead of going to see a movie we decided to go to Redbank Battlefield. It was great just getting out and feeling the sun for once.

Like I said, it's not the beach in Hawaii, but you have to love the driftwood, and Philly in the background.

It is really cool walking around the battlefield and reading the signs because you realize that the Revolutionary War was fought right where you are standing.  Rad.

Are you getting psyched for OC?

We are.  

And if you're not. . . 

This picture might help get you pumped up. . .

B-More.

This past weekend we went to Baltimore for the night, for 

Ryan's 30th Birthday.

The weather was nice...we walked around the Harbor & went shopping & had lunch with our friend Will who lives there.

That night we all went to Powerplant Live.

We had dinner at Babalu Grill, a cuban restaurant.

Then we went for drinks & dancing at Luckies Tavern.

Me & my love.

Philadelphia Zoo

My mom, me, my sister Ange, and my lil brother Brandon went to the Philadelphia Zoo earlier this month because it was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L out... it has since gone back to the nasty cold weather, BUT it was a good taste of spring.

These male & female monkeys were hugging...so cute.

Some monkey boobs. hehe  The male was rubbing her back very lovingly.

Happy 27th Birthday Brian

I know this event happened a while ago.. forgive me, I'm playing catch up.  

Better late than never. =)

Wine & Chocolate Tour

This weekend while Brian was busy with National Guard...

 I went on a wine & chocolate tour with the girls -My sister Andrea, Susan, Diane, & Melissa

We rode in a limo, and visited 4 wineries, sampling 20+ bottles of wine, and tons of chocolate, cheese, etc. It was a fabulous time! 

I think Brian would have reaaaaaally enjoyed himself. 

Next time..stupid guard.

Found the only piece of ice between my house & car 

& proceeded to fall flat on my ass.

First thought?

Luckily...No injuries.  Just a bruised ego. =)

I'll try not to make that mistake twice.

Congratulations to Brian!!

RIP Integra

Sooooo if you're not aware. Our car was stolen, AGAIN, last week. This time we didn't hear them, didn't catch them, and well....didn't get our car back completely intact. She was found on a construction site. They were obviously professionals.

View for yourself.

1st off...whats missing?

In case your not E-Rock. Generally there's an engine/transmission in this empty space.

You should never drink and drive.

That would be our car panels in the back seat...so they can get to our brand new infiniti speakers of course.

Empty trunk...they even took our acura emblem.

Can you spot whats missing?
That would be the gear shifter...they pretty much took everything.

Including all 4 tires.

Question: Does "The Club" work?
Answer: not this time.

And lastly...her final resting place.

Icing on the cake? We had to pay to have it towed & disposed of.
F-U- Hawaii...

Needless to say, we are not shipping our car home. Luckily our fabulous friend Kate is letting us use her car until we leave. THANKS KATE! WE LOVE YOU!
