A few Saturdays ago, Ryan and I were faced with an entire day together with nothing to do!
(Ryan has started his longer-rotations, so he doesn't need to study as often. Before he would have an exam every 6 weeks, over the material covered in that rotation. BUT now, he has 3 months until his next exam. Not as pressing. And it's been wonderful having him around for real!)
So we decided to check some stuff off our bucket list!
Our original plan was to head to West Philly [enjoy our favorite spot in the city], walk to Honest Tom's Tacos for lunch then explore University city. The later two are on our list, the first is not.
However, once we got to said favorite spot (Clark Park, absolute perfection in this dump of a city) we didn't really want to leave. So we stayed longer and nixed exploring University City for that day.
This exact scenario may or may not have happened about 5 times already.
Plus also, I think The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air really gave West Philly a bad rep. That place ROCKS.
And then one day...we were doing a test-drive for a car we were thinking about buying and we passed it! The truck!! At none other than Clark Park! So after we finished the test-drive, we went back to the truck, SO excited that we had finally tracked it down. There was a farmer's market in the park the same day that we wanted to walk through so we decided to walk through that first and then get our tacos. Once we finished the farmer's market, we turned around and started walking towards the truck when all of a sudden IT DRIVES AWAY! Just gone. Into the sunset [but not really because it was 11am.] Not even kidding, Ryan almost cried.
So continued our search for the Honest Tom's Taco truck.
We spent several Saturday afternoons searching for it. We went to all the usual spots for food trucks, to its typical Clark Park or Logan Circle stops...nothing. No luck. Not a single sign of Honest Tom's. Then we heard they opened a shop. We considered going there, but darn it! I wanted my tacos from that truck!
And now...sad sad story...the truck has broken down.
Tacos will only be served from their store from now on.
All that to say, it was a lot of work trying to check this bad boy off our list!! And we feel like we kind of took the lazy way out by going to the store, but we no longer had an option. And in the debate of store-tacos or no-tacos...whatever gets tacos in my belly is gonna win every time. I mean is that really even a debate?
Honest Tom's Tacos: Check!

But we did check Honest Tom's Tacos off our list!
Here's the deal with Honest Tom's. They have a real beaut of a food truck. Super colorful. Day of the Dead-esque skull on it and everything. They used to park it near our old apartment fairly often, but we never tried it. Just admired from afar. And then we moved, and thought, "What the crap? Why didn't we ever just walk the two blocks to get these delicious tacos?"
