Life's short...don't spill!: Whirlwind week

Well, a lot has happened over the past week. I went on two amazing road trips with friends through Eastern PA, had a blast around State College, and, oh yeah, I GRADUATED! We had a blast during our senior week festivities, with highlights including Gettysburg, Philly, Yuengling, Meteo Bar Tour, and a big family visit for the big day. Seven of us headed down to Gettysburg last Sunday and managed to joke our way through the entire day -- no surprise :-D Lots of fun was had by all as we toured all around the historic Civil War field:

After a quick return home Monday, we left for Philly on Tuesday morning. First, a stop was in order at Shady Maple, a delicious dutch smorgasbord, for breakfast. After stuffing our faces, we headed onward to Philly and the historical district, followed by a trip to Pat's Steaks. We capped the night off with a Phillies game, and everyone had a blast. The following morning, we stopped by the Yuengling Factory for a tour and samples (yum!). That night we continued with our enjoyment of beverages as the meteo '09 bar tour commenced, with lots of fun times had all around.

Thursday brought the family into town for Graduation Friday, and everyone had a blast as we ate and celebrated our way through the weekend. It was certainly bittersweet because everyone knew that it meant goodbyes were in store, but there was a certain glee throughout as we made that momentous walk across the stage.

:-) Too Many Memories

So, that's it, right. Nope. Chris and I drove 1200 miles over the past two days from PA to Oklahoma City to start Vortex2! It was a pretty epic drive, with heavy rain in PA, two great sunsets, a really big arch, and some good fun.
