I'm so excited about the luck I've had lately with weekends out of town. A couple of weekends back, I went to Wilmington for the first time: it's one of the friendliest, prettiest, most comfortable little cities I've been to here in the States. This coming weekend, I'll be visiting my little brother in Philly. Cheesesteaks, Philly Museum of Art, and blessedly cooler temperatures here I come! I'm so thankful every time I get to see a little more of the US. You would think it'd be easy to get out in your own back yard, but whenever I try to plan anything, there's always one complication or another. We are all so awfully busy, for one thing. It makes me extra-happy when things do work out.

Mantra for the weekend: I WILL remember to pack a camera. I WILL.
