Philadelphia Day Three


Post by DianeDay three:
Started with a call from Grammy (my mother), who is taking care of our cats. She called to say she had rearranged our living room. Yes, you read this right! She also told us the cats haven’t pooped the whole time shehas been taking care of them. Rick thinks she scared the poop in them!
We think they will be in a boarding house by the time we get home because they are far too messy for her. We should probably head home before she does anything else.
Off to City Hall, the love sculpture, acapella group, Basilica of St. Peter and Paul.
Lunch with Jimmy and his lifelong friend Doug at Marathon Grill.
The afternoon Independence hall, and the liberty bell and back on the trolley with a very animated tour guide who gave the history of where every actor filmed on location in Philly. Very fun!
Dinner at Jimmy and Bridget’s with Mae as the entertainment. Great night to be able to share alone time with a nice cousin and his beautiful family that we see far too little off. As we were leaving Lil returned from an evening with her friends. We chatted a little more than Jimmy left with us and gave us a guided tour of their city. Very quant much like Chestnut Hill or Hingham.

Friday in Philly by Jen

The ironic, fairy-tale chimey theme song from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia (TV show) is streaming through my head making me smile as it always does.

Yet again it rained all day, though that wasn't a surprise. A good portion of Team DASH gathered at the Willow Grove Mall to get some walking in. There were a bunch of other 3Day walkers there. We cheered each other on. Shared stories and took pictures! We only logged about 1/4 of the miles we normally would have on the Official Day 1 of the walk, but that's ok :)







Yes, its difficult logging a lot of miles at the mall. Though Stephanie decided if we had to keep walking in circles this was the spot she'd choose. MMM Abercrombie eye candy!


We actually did walk enough to warrant stretching :)

Here's a clip that was on the news tonight. (I don't know why it says King of Prussia. The first time we watched it, the clip said Willow Grove which is where we were)

All in all it was a great day! We came home, had a yummy dinner. Relaxed, watched TV (the Phillies game for Tini), and best of all, stayed warm and dry!

Tomorrow we're walking again at a different local mall. We're definitely making the most of this experience, different though it may be!!!
