Summer is in full swing! Lots of great activities and experiences have come our way.
We met Robert Irvine from Restaurant Impossible, a show on Food Network. Steve's boss gave him tickets. We had a great time! We got to hang out with Robert and his construction guy Tom, all evening. Tried a new place in the city called Lukes Lobster for lucnch with great lobster rolls. We also tried the breakfast buffet at the Sofitel Hotel...great spread! We finally tried Percy Street BBQ for dinner, and I am still full from it...lol. Went to Vango for dinner as well, love their calamari salad. We went to Cirque du Soleil for the first time....WOW! That's all I can say about that. We also went to Comic Con for the first time. Lots of fun! Jordan loved it!
Family activities included going to Clementon Park for some fun rides! We enjoyed going to the movies to watch Man of Steel, Pacific Rim, Grown Ups 2, Now You See Me, and Monsters U. We also went to a Big Time Rush Concert which Jordan enjoyed very much, especially with all the screaming girls....lol. We even went to pick out 2 live chickens to make for dinner at a place on Spring Garden! Who would've thought?? Jordan said he wouldn't eat them knowing they just killed them for us to eat that day, but once the chicken was cooked, he did not back down..lol.
Jordan will be singing in a concert on August 9th and 10th. I am so excited! He has been practicing and sounds great! He continues to take guitar and voice lessons. He also continues to do karate twice a week. He will be participating in teen camp week at the Philadelphia Zoo the end of August learning about all the animals.
We took a nice vacation end of May and went to Paris for 6 days. It was great! We did lots of walking, touring the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, the Catacombs, Champ Elysees, Arc de Triumph, Notre Dame, Versailles, and nearby neighborhoods, eating yummy french food every chance we got like crepes, escargot, macaroons, and french bread. We also had some adventures on the metro, trying to find our way around. I need to plan to take nice trips like that more often.
Been trying to walk more in the city since I like to eat so much. On real hot days though, I try to climb the stairs in my office building instead. It makes me feel like I am walking off all that yummy food I eat. Yes......I have gained 15 pounds since I moved to the city. I can't imagine why though....lol.
Still have about 6 weeks left of summer and plan to enjoy every bit of it! Hope everyone else does too.
