One Last Hoorah!

This past week David interviewed in Philadelphia at CHOP and after confirming Monday that it didn't look like I was going into labor anytime soon, I booked a train ticket to meet David.  It was such a blast and I am so glad that we had this little mini vacation.  We also celebrated David's 37th birthday and.... the results that he passed his cardiology boards!  So, it was a big week.

For David's 37th Birthday dinner we went to Marrakesh.  For the past 7 years of our marriage I have heard about this restaurant and I am so happy that we were able to celebrate there together.  The experience begins when you arrive at the entrance down this little alley.  (In the past, there wasn't even a sign advertising.)  You knock on a locked door, they let you enter into this quaint little restaurant with small round tables and pillows galore.  You are then served a 6 course authentic Moroccan meal.  I think we ate David's birth year in pounds.  Everything was so delicious.

Marrakesh Bill.

The next day David and I headed out to see the Philadelphia Museum of Fine Arts and the Rodin Museum before David had to start interviews.

Me and Rocky.

David and I w/ Rocky.  Note to all other visitors: do not let the guy take your picture that claims he is the "Rocky photographer", he's not doing it to be nice.  He just wants your money.  David knew this, but I was clueless.

This is how David would take Rocky out.

get a picture taken here since he might be the ultimate thinker.
