Boom - Fourth!

I took the long way home and watched fireworks in one of the more historic cities in our country.  We watched from a parking garage due to the rain - the ones in NJ first and then the Philly ones right in front of us!

Zzzz...

When DS gets to be too much, everyone needs a nap...

On A Boat!

When you get the chance to be on a boat singing with laid back rock stars, you do it...

Balti-more....

We did get to explore the city a bit but the focus was the Song & Dance Festival.  I got back to my Customer Service roots and was one of the Information Booth supervisors. Incredible opportunity to talk to SO many people from around the globe!!

Dance!

The feeling of pride was incredible - we were all sobbing.  We made a mutual friend's American buddies link arms and sing with us at the end.  They joked that they felt like a part of a cult.....

Sing!

Prep...

A peek at behind the scenes of the Song & Dance Festival...

Electric Vroom...

BMW came to visit to help spread awareness of electric cars....we test drove some other ones since this one is quite pricey.

Side Trip..

Side trip on the way home this past weekend...incredible museum!!  Completely worth getting stuck in Beltway traffic on the way back.

Zzzz...

She had had enough of my bartending this past weekend...

Thoughts...

Stemming from a compliment that I received over the weekend... 

Philly Magic Garden...

Of course I was drawn to the bottles but the words really inspired me to take more pictures... 

65th Anniversary...

When the 65th anniversary causes major flashbacks to your days in the school...

Mansion in May...

Continuing the tradition! 

Fueled...

Morning!

How to make even the most skeptical people drink bloody marys...

Truth...

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

Repeating...

Stepping...

Sunny Day...

When you get in the car after a fantastic Sunday hike and it becomes a road trip of "what's down this road?" and ends up with the theme "places that I have heard about but never been to".

It Is....

 A day for MORE cowbell!!

Riveting...
