Philly

On Sunday, we drove to Philly to visit my sister. When we arrived, Monkey immediately fed us a delicious pasta dish with sausage, zucchini, and cream sauce. She then made us two pizzas from her homemade dough and pesto. Since Badger doesn't like tomatoes, she made half of it with olives. So good.


Stuffed, we took a nap and then walked around the neighborhood. For dinner, we met up with Ferret at a nearby restaurant for MORE pizza. This was a gourmet pizza shop where we ordered a spinach and artichoke pizza, and sausage pizza, and a bbq chicken pizza. Obviously, we had a lot left over. Afterwards, we went to Ferret's place to drink beers, hang out, and play Settlers of Cataan. Monkey pulled a fast one on everyone (despite my warnings not to trust her) and won the game. I want a rematch.

The next day, we had breakfast at a nearby coffeeshop and then went to Urban Outfitters where I bought a flannel shirt (first clothing purchase since before the wedding whoo hoo!). Then we had to hit the road and drive back to hotel in NJ (rental car forgot to do Sat delivery so Badger's license got delivered Mon). We treated ourselves to ice cream since we had time to kill before driving to Newark airport. Then it was back home to SD.

Here's old man Tony.


I also took some pictures of Monkey's awesome bag that she sewed. I'll let her post them on her blog. Stay tuned.
