The City of Sisterly Love!

Justine, Alyssa, Emily and I are in Philadelphia for a few days for our sorority's International Convention!

Thus far?  It has been tons of fun and we have met so many great new people! :)

We had a little time to wander around downtown Philly this evening - although it was an-almost-unbearable 97 degrees (complete with humidity).

We wandered around a bit and took a few photos but the heat (and Justine's crutches) kept us from getting too carried away...

Two super nice (who didn't look like they would run away with my camera) ladies took these photos for us.  They were also able to strategically angle it all so that you don't even notice the huge crowd of people behind us filming some kind of rap video! :)

Juuuuust as we were hitting a state of melted, we piled back in the car and had a little adventure in search of dinner.  We just kind of drove (along a cute winding road by the river) until we came to Mt. Airy - adorable.

We settled on theWine Thief Bistro - Amaaaaaaaaaazing.  (I had the Scallop Risotto - did I mention it was amazing?)

After dinner (and a slight detour to Jersey) we wound up at The Franklin Fountain for some old-school ice cream!  (They actually gave it to you in little cardboard Chinese-takeout-esque containers!  I wanted to take a photo soooo badly but given that it was 93 degrees still at 10 PM it left to little time between "ice cream" and "melted puddle" status to even consider whipping out the camera...)

I loved the old-fashioned shop (or should I say shoppe?) though and it was the perfect ending to the day!  (And guess what Dad?! They had Hydrox cookie ice cream!!! I couldn't resist... it was amazing...)

Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!!
