Trip to Philly

I headed off to Philadelphia this weekend to attend my friends' wedding and to visit one of my other friends who is also living in Philly.

Brendan, my former grad school roommate, picked me up at the airport and showed me around Philly. After getting the grand tour, we stopped at Dave and Buster's for dinner and some skee-ball. Later, we walked around Philly and saw the Libery Bell and Independence Hall.

On Saturday, we were running late, but we managed to make it downtown in time to take a tour of Lincoln Financial Field, where the Philadelphia Eagles play. After the tour, we headed to Ridley Park for Mark and Meghan's wedding and reception.

On Sunday, Brendan and I headed back into Philly to visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which is where the famous scene from the movie, Rocky, was filmed. We also went into the museum, which had a cool exhibit on old weapons.

In the early afternoon, I headed back to Salt Lake City. The trip was short, but sweet. It was cool hanging out with Brendan again for the first time since he moved away from Utah about a year and a half earlier. And, of course, I was glad I could make it out to Philly for Mark and Meghan's wedding.
