Vacation Madness!

Hello friends!  I am so excited to finish my vacation post!  I started this a few weeks ago with a very cool yet disturbing post about the Mutter Museum.  Sadly, this post only contains one eerie photo.  (can you guess which one it is?)  

My favorite sister (and no it is not just because she is my only sister) Mindy came out to visit with her husband James and we adventured it up on a road trip to the lovely City of Philadelphia. 

It was a total blast!  I wish I could do it all over again!  But since my time machine is out of order I will just have to re-live it through pictures!  I might as well take you along too... Enjoy! 

The Facade of the Mutter Museum

I couldn't wait to go in... Dave had other feelings about it!

In Shock

The permanent look of creeped-out-ness Dave sported after the museum.

Gubler Girl 

Pretty in pink!

My AWESOME Brother-in-law!

He fits right in...

Best Staircase Ever!

I would have so much fun photographing a bride on these steps.  My hair looks HUGE in this picture...

Story Time!

Haha!  Can you tell my sister has Italian blood in her?

Ah, My Love!

What a hottie! (I don't think I have used that word since like 8th grade)

Out of Body Experience

I like my new camera!  It lets me do cool things like this!

Ohana means...

And family makes for cool pictures  =)

Keep Walking!

And stay in line!

Pretty Night Shot!

Unbeknownst to me there was a bug waiting to scare me as I set up my cool shot.

And this is the result...

This is me freaking out because of the scary bug...

Refreshment!

After all that terror, I needed a break so Franklins fountain turned out to be the perfect place to rest our feet and have  a yummy treat!

Eating at the Twelves Grill and Cafe

Yep you heard me... the TWELVES Grill and Cafe!  A restaurant with our last name!

Table #12 for the Twelves

... at 12 Exchange Place, eating the Twelves Burger for $12.00...

The Outside

It used to be a bank... now the vault is the coat room!

The Twelves at Twelves!

It was really yummy!  And a nice end to our PA trip!

The Airplane Ride of AWESOMENESS! (It was fully awesome!)

As you can see from the previous post I got Dave an airplane ride for his birthday!  And now I get to blog about it! Yay!

  We had so much fun and took like a million pictures!  I was a little scared at first, but it was actually really cool.  I did fine for the first half of the flight, but I got sick during the 2nd half.

This is the plane we went up in.  It is called a Cessna 172.

.... and scary....

The first of many pictures where Dave has a ridiculously happy face!

 

Our Pilot's name was Dave... He looked like he was only 12, but he was a really good pilot!

My cute hubby!

I think he had a good time... what do you think?

Dave 1 (my dave) was nice enough to let me sit in the front, so this was his view from the back seat! =)

My camera is awesome... you can zoom in forever, and when we did we found our house! 

No foolin!

What would a plane ride be like without an iphone? I will never know.

This field is how I found the way back to our first apartment whenever I got lost.

HAAAPYYYY!

Noodle lane is a family joke... =)

Sad =(

This one was too pretty to write on... I love the "s" curve in the river.

Maybe I will get him this every year!  He loves it!

Dave and I had one of our first dates at the capital building.

Having too much fun! 

I couldn't see the wheel from the front and I am kinda glad.

Dave really took some cool pictures!

My Happy Hubby!

Hahaha!  I love it!  My favorite show and my favorite city!

I had fun, but I was glad to be safely back on solid ground!

Heppy Burfday Dave!

Yes its true... Dave is old!  Hahaha =)  Ok, don't get out your angry faces and say "HE'S NOT OLD!" I know he is not old... I just get to tease him now because he is older than me! 

 

On Sunday May, 31st the love of my life turned 26!  I made deviled eggs because they are his favorite thing to eat.  He also got a delicious cupcake from an allergy conscious bakery!   Here are some highlights of the day in pictures! 

Need I say more?  I think not!

Dave gets on my case because I HATE having my picture taken, so this one is for him... and cuz I look awesome in my new shades! ;)

Look how happy he is... and he hasn't even opened his present yet!  I wanted to surprise him with something awesome this year because he was complaining about not wanting anything for his birthday... He said he missed feeling like a little kid and wishing for cool gifts.  I took that on as a challenge! =)

Dave loves airplanes. especially small ones, so I decided to get him an hour tour in a small plane.  I was sure he was going to find out because I am not great at hiding things I am excited about.  But he claims he had no clue!

I guess I believe him because this is the face he made when he opened the card explaining the gift!  I hope his day was extra special!
