Our weekend away, okay....our night away!

after a long couple of long hard work weeks I was ready to get away, only if it was one night. Of course it involved basketball and the Jazz, but it's always good to get a little taste of home once in awhile. We drove down to Philly Friday night to watch the Jazz play the Sixers. Our hotel was conveniently located right by the arena so we could walk the 'fourth of a mile' to the game. We had the whole section to ourselves, I guess the sixers fans aren't so loyal. Whatever the reason, it made it more fun for us! On the way home however it was a rainy wind storm. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard trying to stay behind a little tiny umbrella with Macy, trying to follow Bob's voice as we raced to the hotel as quickly as possible. I think Macy is turning in to be a true Jazz fan!!
















Oh the food we ate........I was really looking forward to that the most, there goes the diet!!




Crab fries with Cheese sauce and chicken cheese steaks at the game.




Next day, Philly's Phatties for a cheesewhiz steak for later that night.


Then onto the Oakly Manor for a Giradano special- a heart attack waiting to happen.








Got a good view of all the boats on Cooper River where they were having one of their numerous row competitions. So pretty!
And that was our very quick one night trip down to Philly. It was nice to get away and as crazy as this sounds the two hour drive down and back was worth it just to spend time with Bob talking and reminicing!!

I could go for a good Jazz game in Philly. Might take me more than a couple hours to get there though! All that talk of cheezewhiz steak is making me hungry.
