The Wedding Crashers!

We had a good Saturday. I didn't end up going to Manyunk. I got up late and after making pancakes for breakfast, decided I had a lot to do in town. Most importantly having to travel several blocks to get to the closest large grocery store within walking distance, Super Fresh! I ventured out with my grocery cart and Kyle since I usually need an extra pair of hands to carry all the bags home.

This evening we went to dinner with our friends Shelley and Matt. Shelley is the receptionist at the Philly architecture firm where I work. Her husband, Matt, is in his 1st year at Wharton with Kyle. Small world. Matt spent some time in China so that was interesting for Kyle and him to share stories about their time there.

As we walked back from dinner Kyle and I decided to drop in at the Ritz Carlton. The Phila. RC is super nice. It used to be a bank and it has a great rotunda with a skylight and has a big open atrium space. We had a little cappucino and brownie sundae dessert and enjoyed some good people watching.

The Scene: We were seated at a little table next to a glass circle cut-out in the floor overlooking a ballroom dance floor below where a wedding reception was taking place. However, we couldn't see unobstructed into the ballroom because our view was through the glass cut-out and through the top of a huge ballroom chandelier. We could only see silhouettes below, through the strands of the chandelier. Kyle and I were cracking up because the dance floor was packed with people totally grooving to music that we couldn't hear. Pointing out old Uncle Fred and Cousin Marty shaking their booties (looking so intense but to what music?) provided minutes and minutes of entertainment. It was SO funny! The reception looked mighty fancy. Kyle and I thought about dropping in for a bit....

Another fun weekend evening.....there's always something interesting to do here...and who were all those people saying Philly was boring??
