It's my party & I'll eat if I WANT to

In celebration of my birthday [26 years young] I ate my way through the weekend and played with some of my favorite people! We had some fabulously unhealthy foods and even learned a little history ;)

I also got a handful of wonderful gifts :) The presence of my sister and b.f.f for one!  A couple gift cards to great places (Target, Ulta, and Starbucks [of course]).  Some rockin' colored jeans (green, yellow, and pink!  Welcome Spring... anytime now) and lots of love from my family and friends.

5 things I learned and ate this weekend:
1) The Liberty Bell is inside a building, not outside for every passer-by to view ;)
2) I ate 2 cheese steaks, one with cheese-whiz and one in pretzel form
3) People in Philadelphia start celebrating St. Patrick's Day two weeks early...
4) I ate cookies, cake, and chocolate truffles.  Oh wait, and cinnamon pretzels.  WHOOPS.
5) All estimates lead to Independence Hall as the birthplace of America, right here in downtown Philadelphia.

Liberty Bell (see... it is inside!)

Cheesesteak... Nom Nom

I fit right in wearing my green jeans

Cinnamon Pretzels... and more goodies
