His first cheesesteak

What a night.

us

You may have wondered why I was middle-of-the-night blogging and tweeting last night ๐Ÿ˜‰ I stayed up later than I have in a looooooong time, and had an absolute blast with good friends ๐Ÿ™‚

We started off at dinner at Parc, with Sabrina, her husband Trig, and Kath.

Parc is a French bistro-style restaurant in Rittenhouse Square, with an antique and classy interior. I loved the 1940s decor in the powder room ๐Ÿ™‚

Sabrina said the food is consistently good there, and it definitely didnโ€™t disappoint.

My salmon, sans crust, which came with some white foodgasmic sauce and black trumpet mushrooms:

The Pilotโ€™s onion soup, which Iโ€™m pretty sure he had a relationship with

soup

[I fully supported said relationship. It looked AWESOME]

and his chicken with cous cous:

We sat at the tables for a few hours and chatted โ€“there was so much to catch up on!- then Kath had to head to the airport, and Sabrina and Trig took us on a Philly tour and exploring.

This also included the Pilotโ€™s first cheesesteak ๐Ÿ™‚

He was a little nervous to order it โ€“apparently if you screw it up they send you to the back of the line, haha- but he handled it like a champ. And managed to eat almost an entire cheesesteak after having a full-up dinner. My husband, ladies and gentlemen ๐Ÿ™‚

After that adventure, we went back to Sabrina and Trigโ€™s condo and hung out and chatted until very early this morning. Weโ€™d probably still be there if I didnโ€™t ask the Pilot to check the time when my eyelids started to droop.

Weโ€™re very lucky to have amazing friends <3

Whenever I go to blog conferences, I go for the people and not the conference itself. Iโ€™d rather hang out with friends, meet new ones and have a little vacation ๐Ÿ™‚ That being said, I always feel so inspired, motivated and with a full heart when I leave, even if I only attend 1 or 2 of the actual conference sessions. The blog world is an incredible community and we all have so much to teach and learn from each other.

This morning the Pilot is sleeping in and Iโ€™m off to the gym before itโ€™s airport time.

See ya in Tucson ๐Ÿ™‚

xoxo

    The worst thing about planes is when they are running late…a close second is the queue for the toilet after everyone has had their meal:)
