views from my driver seat. (and 1 from a cab :)i love shooting random shots while i drive. i just lay the camera on the dash and click, or see something out the corner of my eye grab it and shoot, no looking just clicking. then you get home and see what the road had to offer. some just a blurry mess, but every once in awhile some road magic. just got back from a week long visit to the snowless "south". lol, ok pennsylvania, but that is south from here. first few days were very springlike, even saw some crocuses and daffodils emerging from the ground. birds, ahhh the sound of happy birds tweeting away all over the place. saw best friends and family.
some highlights of the trip:
DINOS! yes big huge dino bones at The Academy of Natural Sciences
and live butterflies in their butterfly garden
making pizzas with dewey and jenriding a Septa bus, train, and a taxi in philly. transportation ROCKS in my toddlers' eyes.
shopping at IKEA! (yes how i miss thee IKEA)
playground time! no snow, blue skies, AND the playground! hello is this heaven? this made for very happy kids and a momma. seeing them run free and really play was exciting.
fun with mom-mom and pop-pop. watching WALL-E at least 6 times together. usually i am not a huge fan of disney or pixar, always the violence people! but this movie is the sweetest thing. robot love. and who knew a robot could be so dang expressive and melt your heart? i did not, but now i do! i heart WALL-E.
playing uncle ryan's electric guitar
playing piano with "old friends"
mussels at monks with jen and yes the BEST damn fries and bourbon mayo dip!
a cake with a few candles.
all good stuff.
we snuck in 2 colds as well, not so fun. but we are now home safe. kids tucked into their own beds. we did come back to snow. more fell while we were away. i am not lying when i say i DID NOT MISS IT. we came home a day early since weather forecast says more snow on its way tomorrow. sigh february in maine. oh well, now i have my pictures and memories to warm me up til we melt. we WILL melt. and maybe even grow some daffodils too... here's hoping. now the task of catching up.
look at the difference 1 day and 500 miles in a car will make!
brrrrrr! to AHHHHH!

So happy your back and you had a fab time!!

You're back! You were definitely missed. But, I'll forgive you since you came back with all these great photos. ;)
I recently took my first trip to Philly and LOVED Monk's as well! We hung out in the back bar for hours. Lovely photos as always.
glad you had your needed hit of sunshine. it is amazing what sun and a good park can do for you.
Oh, momma. I just came back to Maine from Florida! think about THAT adjustment. It's snowing now....
sounds like a great trip! love the driving photos :)
that had to be a great trip. i love photos from the car. i do a lot of those because it's hard to get b to stop. by the time i get him to understand i want to stop he has flow far passed and it requires a turn around and drive back. i just can't do that to him.
great photos - I love the intentional out of focus shot on the bottom left of the collage.
Yes you guys are still getting hit hard. My Daff's are almost ready to bloom. Yeahh!!
Sounds like a wonderful trip with some very memorable moments. So glad for you. =0)
Hi,
I came over to your blog via Andie.
I love your cyber home and had fun browsing around this morning while I drank my second cup of coffee.
I live in Cape Cod where I thought it snowed less than other places in New England and while that may be true I could still use a break from the snow. There is suppose to be more this week!
