It was a nice long week. I had fun and it still seemed to take forever despite flying by somehow. Let’s go:
Saturday – Arrived at like 6AM and got home by 8ish? I was able to take a nap and then went to the Zoo with Kristin, Steph and Taylor. I remember when I first went to the San Diego Zoo, I thought that it was too big and that’s what made the Philadelphia Zoo so awesome. After being to the San Diego Zoo twice, I can say it is much better. The Philadelphia Zoo will always have a place in my heart, but I think it’s more for kids, whereas the SD Zoo is more for adults… who want to walk in a marathon while enjoying animals. After that it was off to Steve’s for my first steak sandwich.
Sunday – Easter so I didn’t do much but eat lunner with Kristin’s family and then eat dinner with my family.
Monday – Matt and I drove to Baltimore and got there around 2PM with enough time to hit some dive bar and drink a couple beers before Tim got home from work. Then we hit the harbor, ate at ESPN zone while Chris Shelton hit his like 9th or 10th homerun or something absurd like that and then went to the Orioles/Angels game. It was great. $15 seats, a free $5 beef sandwich and yelling at Corey Patterson while making fun of white trash.
Tuesday – G&M; Crabcakes, old Tara Reid and then a quick ride home. Baltimore is not far at all from Philadelphia. Not after 4 years of insane drives to State College.
Wednesday – Wednesday… ahhh Wednesday… John’s Roast Pork.
Thursday – I just chilled until the ball game. The Phils got spanked 10-4 but we stayed past the 5 run 1st and the 4 run 2nd for $6.25 Flying Fish.
Friday – Went to Harolds for a monster Pastrami/Corned Beef sandwich, a potato knish, some latkes and some pickles.
Saturday – Went to King of Prussia and met Tim at Toys ‘R’ Us for Ryan Howard autographs. Sweet. Then we drove back for John’s but he was closed so we went to Tony Luke’s which is right around the block and was one of my favorites until I found John’s. We were supposed to go to the Phillies game, but it got rained out, so we chilled for a while before going to Matt’s to watch the Flyers get beat in overtime and to drink some Flying Fish all night.
Sunday – Did some more eating in the morning, lox and whitefish, and then packed and flew home. I got home by 9 and got to bed at a decent hour.
That’s it, that’s the jist of my vacation. I didn’t write a lot of the details so hopefully I won’t forget them. That would be awful.
