Soap!

The soap table at Duross and Langel. This store is awesome! They are Philadelphia owned and operated, too. You can order the products from their website as well if you don't live nearby! Their products come in fun colors and packaging and smell amazing.

A confused biker

I think this biker is confused about where they live. Or they just completed a very long bike ride! This actually caught my eye because my sister lives in Portland so whenver I see anything with Oregon on it, it reminds me of her!

I met a famous person!

Yep, that's me with Kevin Nealon! He did a show at Helium Comedy Club which is in the Rittenhouse area and I got a picture with him after. You probably recognize him from Saturday Night Live and more recently the show Weeds which is on Showtime.

Vineyards!

Fresh Apple

The opening of the new Apple store was a big to-do a couple of weeks ago. It's the first apple store in Philadelphia. We decided not to go in because it was super crowded. I heard that there were 300 people in line that morning!

At the Zoo 2


The Sloth Bear at the Philadelphia Zoo poses pretty for her close up. She loves the beg for food, and will come right up to the edge of the moat surrounding her area! She was one of the easiest animals to view that day.

A very specific sign


This sign is a little too specific, I think. On the escaltor you cannot push your baby stroller, wear roller skating sneakers or crocs! Crocs? Why can't people wear crocs on the escalator?
