Throwback Thursday

One of the most exciting things that happened in the short long time I had been M.I.A. was my best friend, Paige, coming to visit all the way from Arizona. We have known each other since the 3rd grade but became best friends in 6th. I love this girl more then words could describe.

I couldn't wait for her to get out here because she had only ever been to Philly once before, in our senior year of college her and my momma came out for family weekend. This time around though, I would be in a completely different place, in life and location. I was so excited to show her Manayunk and get to spend quality best friend time together.

The first full day that she was here, we got up, before most people were going to bed from the night before, and headed to NYC! She had never been there before so it was my duty to show her the important sites. Thank goodness for Gabe or I would have had us lost in the first 5 minutes of stepping of the megabus.

First up, Carlos Bakery in Hoboken! I had never been so I was super excited to eat lots of pastries and not feel guilty about it at all. Unfortunately, Buddy wasn't there, or any of his sisters but it was awesome to actually step foot in such a famous bakery.

After our chilly time in Hoboken we headed back into the city which consisted of the following: 9/11 Memorial, Pizza (of course), Time Square (and a movie), Rockefeller Center, and lastly the Highline. I know that I am speaking for the both of us when I say that the best part of our time in NYC was seeing Kevin Bacon at the movies. Yes, Kevin Bacon. He looked like a bum, but it was sure him. Totally made up for the cold weather and lack of sleep!

Of course, we had to go into Philly because she had only ever been once. We walked around Penn's Landing, South Street, and took some pictures with Rocky!

So many awesome things happened, I could write a short story about it. Her time here was far too short and I can't wait to make more plans for her to come out here again so I can show her even more!!
